		<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[There is a perennial question in Korean unification studies &#8211; should humanitarian and food aid be provided to North Korea? Grand National Party (GNP) spokesman Ahn Hyoung-hwan stated that government leaders are reviewing whether to provide food aid after a meeting on Sunday with the party&#8217;s chairman. This question will always be here&#8230; here are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are no official details of the proposed unification tax. Indeed, in my belief, the whole concept is as much about sparking debate on unification as it is about financially preparing for unification. Nevertheless, there are questions that are starting to gain greater attention in the local press. Firstly, how is the government going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new tax has been proposed to prepare South Korea for the costs of unification. While I am never one to support a new tax, I reckon this is an excellent idea! Least of all because it will begin a conversation &#8211; a conversation that has been lacking in South Korea for around ten years. [...]]]></description>

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[&#8216;Reunification cost&#8217; is not an inappropriate term in the context of current ROKG unification policy according to a recent article on korea.net. With an underlying faith that North Korea will not collapse, the article states: Think tanks, major financial institutions and individuals are busy estimating how much it may cost to reunite South and North Korea. They often [...]]]></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>
