"Towards a Northeast Asian Security Community?
Implications for Korea's growth and economic development"
On October 15th, 2008 University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) and Hanns Seidel Stiftung Korea (HSS) in cooperation with the Korea Economic Institute (KEI) hold a conference in Washington D.C., USA. The topic of the conference, which brought together a focused group of opinion leaders from the United States, Korea, and Europe, was "Towards a Northeast Asian Security Community? Implications for Korea's growth and economic development".
The Northeast Asian security environment is closely linked to Korea's growth perspectives for the future. While today still burdened by a North Korea malus on international financial markets, a peaceful solution of the securityproblems could not only enhance stability of Korea and reduce the defense burden considerably (the so-called peace dividend), but it would also facilitate regional investments safer and regional solutions for common economic problems.
The conference was divided into four panels with each two presentations and one discussant who gave valuable remarks to the presenters. The co-organizers were able to attract not only distinguished scholars and experts on Korean issues. Moreover, the participants from world-renowned institutions (like the Peterson Institute, the leading US institute on questions of the international economy, or the Heritage foundation), but also with participants from important political institutions (among them the US State Department, Treasury Department and Department of Defense), international financial institutions (among them the IMF and a world bank advisor), leading think tanks and important universities (like Georgetown or George Washington University).
Conference proceedings will be published first online by the KEI (www.keia.org)and later print by the UDE and HSS. This conference volume will be part of "IN-EAST ?Hanns Seidel Series on Modern Korean Economy", which is a book series sponsored by Strategic Initiative of Korean Studies (SIKS) which is part of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS).
