New Year's Greetings From Kim Jong-un
In his 2014 New Year's address, Kim Jong-un focused on practical steps to improve North Korea's economy across a wide range of sectors under the party's centralized leadership, writes Scott A. Snyder, CFR senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy. Although Kim called for the establishment of a "favorable climate for improved relations between north and south," reactions from the Park administration suggest that progress in inter-Korean relations will be hard to come by. Read the post onAsia Unbound »
Testing Trustpolitik
South Korean president Park Geun-hye was elected last year pledging a policy of "trustpolitik" designed to promote inter-Korean reconciliation through principled engagement while holding North Korea to account for its actions. But, as Snyder argues, the outcome of negotiations over reopening the Kaesong Industrial Complex last year reveals that inter-Korean progress comes from the establishment of joint structures, not trust. Read the post on Asia Unbound »
North Korea: A Credible Threat?
North Korea's ability to threaten the United States comes in two forms: the possibility that North Korean fissile material could reach the United States , and the capacity to target U.S. interests abroad, including on the Korean peninsula. CFR's Snyder analyses these threats as part of the "Ask CFR Experts" series. Read the full answer on CFR.org »
South Korea: The Backwater That Boomed
South Korea is no longer an emerging market, but not quite a developed market either. As one of Foreign Affairs' "Six Markets to Watch," the country's chief economic virtue—its openness—also subjects it to greater market volatility and risk than its fully developed counterparts, argues Marcus Noland, executive vice president and director of studies at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Stark Choices for China-ROK Relations
New strategic challenges have emerged in recent months to influence China's future relations with both Koreas. Snyder and See-won Byun of George Washington University explain the defense and economic developments of 2013 and look at prospects for China-South Korea relations in 2014. Read the article »

Korea Update
January 2014The Regional Implications of Purging Jang Song-taek
Kim Jong-un signaled the end of his uncle Jang Song-taek's political career long before the announcement of his execution, writes Scott A. Snyder, CFR senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy. Signs of Jang's waning influence included his replacement by Choe Ryong-hae as special envoy to Beijing in May 2012 and a decline in Jang's public appearances with President Kim over the past year. In the short term, the purge will strengthen Kim's power, but it does not reconcile the policy contradictions facing the regime as it seeks to establish special economic zones despite being under international sanctions for its nuclear pursuits.

NORTH KOREA AND THE WORLD
Kim Jong-un’s Reign of Fear: What’s Next?
Kim Jong-un's bold move to consolidate power has undoubtedly shaken senior cadres throughout Pyongyang. Purging Jang also affects North Korea's relations with China, not least because Jang symbolized the importance of reforms and promoted economic ties with China, argues Snyder. Read the op-ed in the Los Angeles Times »
Assessing the Future of North Korea
On C-SPAN's Washington Journal, Snyder addressed a variety of issues regarding North Korea, including the implications of Jang Song-taek's removal, Dennis Rodman's most recent visit to Pyongyang, North Korea's current relationship China, and prospects for international cooperation on dealing with North Korea. Ultimately, these recent events reveal much about Kim Jong-un and his immaturity as a leader.Watch the interview »
Tallying the Economic Costs of Korean Nuclear Development
International sanctions have failed to convince North Korean leadership that the regime cannot survive as a nuclear weapons state. With a policy of simultaneous economic and nuclear development (thebyungjin line), North Korean leaders assume they can manage the economic costs resulting from nuclear development. But the costs of such a policy are staggering compared to the economic benefits North Korea might enjoy without nuclear weapons. Comparing the estimated costs of the nuclear program to economic growth with the benefits of becoming a normal economy integrated with its neighbors reveals the steep price of the byungjin policy.

President Park Geun-hye Proposes DMZ Peace Park
South Korean president Park's plan to build a peace park in the Korean demilitarized zone marks the first time the government has offered a specific proposal for environment-focused development, points out Snyder in a presentation at the Korea Global Forum 2013. The forum was cohosted in Seoul by the South Korean Ministry of Education and the Asan Institute for Policy Studies. Read the session sketch »
Preventive Priorities Survey 2014: North Korea Cited as a Tier I Priority
CFR's Center for Preventive Action (CPA) asked more than 1,200 government officials, academics, and experts to evaluate a list of thirty conflicts that could break out or escalate in the next twelve months and assess their expected relative impact on U.S. interests. CPA then categorized the contingencies into three tiers, in order of priority to U.S. policymakers. North Korea ranks as a Tier I priority on this year's survey due to its February nuclear test and U.S. estimates that North Korea has enough plutonium to produce five nuclear weapons. Also of great concern is North Korea's internal political instability. Read the full report »
CHINA-KOREA RELATIONS
International Coordination on North Korea Policy
Meetings between the leaders of the United States, South Korea, and China in 2013 signify greater convergence on positions toward North Korea, particularly regarding the issue of denuclearization. To discuss prospects for ROK-U.S.-China cooperation vis-à-vis North Korea, Snyder was invited by the Korea Society in New York City to participate in a panel on December 13 with Ralph Cossa of the Pacific Forum CSIS, John Delury and Han Sukhee of Yonsei University, Lee Sung-yoon of the Fletcher School, and Shen Dingli of Fudan University. Watch the panel »
Deepening U.S.-Korea Relations
China's relationship with South Korea has undergone a profound transformation over the past twenty years, said Snyder at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies' Beijing Forum 2013. Because of China's recent prioritization of geopolitics over ideology concerning North Korea, China and South Korea may be able to further improve their relations if the countries come to a clear understanding on North Korea and the role of the ROK-U.S. alliance.

SOUTH KOREA AND THE U.S. REBALANCE
Biden Bets on a South Korea Squeezed From All Sides
Vice President Joseph Biden reaffirmed U.S. security assurances to President Park in Seoul on December 6, stating that it has "never been a good bet to bet against America . . . and America will continue to place its bet on South Korea." South Korea suddenly found itself directly affected by dual regional security crises from both an internally fluid North Korean leadership situation and from South Korea's southern maritime flank, following China's unilateral assertion of an Air Defense Identification Zone on November 23. A strengthened U.S.-ROK security commitment provides the only viable antidote to this situation. Read more at Asia Unbound »
