Stimson Center | Virtual Event

Description: The North Korean government has become increasingly secretive about its economic information, making it difficult for analysts to gather accurate data, determine precisely what the country is doing, and how it works from within. Join Stimson Center nonresident fellows Robert Carlin and Rachel Minyoung Lee as they discuss results from the second phase of the “Understanding Kim Jong Un’s Economic Policymaking” project analyzing DPRK media and academic sources and assessing which foreign economic ideas have been adopted by North Korea, the impact of external factors on its economy and infrastructure, and how these could shape the country’s future foreign policy and security decisions.
