		<description><![CDATA[There is a new resource on Korean affairs that seems to have promise and I have been helping them out on unification issues recently. They mostly focus on a South Korean commercial/government perspective, but were open to social aspects as well. Check them out&#8230; http://www.junotane.com They have also got me agreeing to help answer questions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think of this scenario. North Korea collapses. The Korean tax payer is loaded with a new Value Added Tax (VAT) and a hefty income tax to pay for unification. Japan, the United States, China all come to the party and contribute significant amounts to help stabilise and reform the north. But only then do people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The International Crisis Group has a decent briefing on what they expect LMB will do for the Korean peninsula. Pretty much the same old stuff, including: Lee is expected to continue South Korea’s efforts at rapprochement with North Korea but to press more firmly for reciprocity than his predecessor. He has outlined a plan to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many suspected that differences in North Korea policy between a Lee Myung-Bak administration and the Roh Moo-Hyun administration were going to be largely cosmetic. Most thought it as an open secret that North Korea policy would largely remain the same&#8230; Stability is after all, much more valuable to most South Koreans than any chance of a North Korean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does this long list of South Korean ministers responsible for unification tell you? Has there ever been a period in which the civil service has been led by a minister for unification for more than a few years? Or does it say more about the position of &#8216;unification minister&#8217; and the fact that policy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  In all seriousness though, the meeting between Roh Moo-Hyun and Nong Duc Manh, Secretary-General of the Vietnamese Communist Party, after the latter&#8217;s visit to North Korea is quite significant. Vietnam could be held up as a model for North Korea. Although the fundamental economic conditions are very different between Vietnam and North Korea (in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The differing views of the United States and South Korea on the nuclear issue were very evident at the press conference after talks between ROK Defense Minister Kim Jang-Soo and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The key point to make is that Gates believes that the anticipated resolution of the nuclear issue reduces the threat posed by North Korea. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With estimates on the cost of unification providing such alarming figures (as in the last post), it is natural for people to wonder where the money will come from. A paper by Yang Un-Chol at the Sejong Institute gives a good summary of how this could be achieved. Amongst the methods, he lists: Inter-Korean cooperation projects. [...]]]></description>
