    While human rights are an integral part of democratic rule, the extent that public opinion in democracies prioritize human rights in foreign countries relative to other competing foreign policy priorities is not clear. This is particularly the case when a country poses a serious security threat and there are incentives to improve relations with the regime in power. To assess whether and how the public values human rights vis-a-vis national security in foreign affairs, this paper utilizes survey questions that capture the public's relative preferences between the two in South Korean public opinion regarding relations with North Korea. The findings shed light on the trade-off that exists in attempts to improve relations with a regime that is both a serious security threat and a perpetrator of grave human rights violations

    What are the characteristics of President Moon Jae-in's policy toward North Korea, and what lessons can be drawn for the future? More than 70 years have passed since the establishment of the two republics in 1948, during which continuous attempts have been made to achieve reconciliation, peace, and prosperity on the Korean peninsula. Even though the Korean War (1950-53) as well as the last authoritarian government in South Korea (until 1987) belong to the ever more distant past, neither, obviously, have the conflicts between the two Koreas ceased, nor has South Korea found a reasonable and effective way of addressing the conundrum. Against this backdrop of more than half a century of contentious inter-Korean relations, the paper examines the foreign policy (efforts) by the Moon administration (2017-2022) toward North Korea in order to shed light on challenges and opportunities for the future regarding the region of East Asia as well as inter-regional policy implications.

    Transformation to some market approaches in North Korea is of highest importance for more economic cooperation on the Korean peninsula. Kim Jong-uns's Byungjin policy, a new ideological approach announced in 2011, gave some hope for such reforms. At least, basic economic reforms like in China or Vietnam in the 1980s would be helpful. Both countries started with reforms in the agricultural sector and management reforms in the industry. Additionally, they opened up their countries to the capitalist world by Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Especially since introduction of Byungjin Policy by Kim Jong-un North Korea followed these reform steps obviously. But while reforms in agriculture and management of State-Owned Enterprises are quite similar to China or Vietnam a lack of institutionalization must be stated. As a result, only informal markets ("jangmadang") evolved in North Korea. Also, a new group of entrepreneurs ("donju") - people investing money without any legal security - came into existence. Additionally, even though SEZs have been established in North Korea a real opening to foreign investors and clients cannot be observed. There are two main reasons for this: First, ideology is much more crucial for the North Korean regime than for the communist parties in China or Vietnam. Ideological approaches like Juche or Songun still have a religious significance and thereby the function to stabilize the regime. Also, UN sanctions hinder more foreign trade and investment. Therefore, Kim Jong-un is trapped between short-term ideology-based regime stability and nuclear armament on the one hand and economic reforms bringing some regime stability in the long term.

    While Korea since several decades promotes an infrastructure project called "iron silk road", to link it with European markets, but also to integrate North Korea more into the world economy, these ideas largely ended nowhere. Instead, the Chinese proposal of the "One Belt, one Road" (short BRI) initiative, promoted since 2013 under the leadership of Xi Jinping, grew to a huge system of interrelated infrastructure projects, as well land-based as maritime. In these, the Korean Peninsula did originally did not feature. As an afterthought however, both were potentially included. South Korea's "New Northern Policy" under the Moon Jae-In administration to some extent is compatible with the BRI. North Korea did express a certain amount of interest in the initiative in a later stage, but the Covid-19 crisis for the time being led to complete isolation of North Korea and the stop of any larger international policy project. In the past, however, the policy of Special Economic Zones did follow the logic of market integration, which also the BRI follows. To understand the current reluctance of North Korea to participate in the BRI with more enthusiasm, once has to distinguish between the economic geography of North Korea, making such a participation desirable, and the political economy as well of the BRI as of North Korea. Since North Korea currently perceives economic opening, even to China, as a risk due to the inflow of new information and ideas not controlled by the state, for the time being North Korean participation is very doubtful, even after the resolution of the Covid-19 crisis

    This paper investigates the economic costs of the recent United Nations sanctions on North Korea. Exploiting a novel data set on North Korean firms, we construct measures of regional exposure to export and intermediate input sanctions and show that trade sanctions cause sharp declines in local nighttime luminosity. Additional analysis of newly available product-level price data reveals that import sanctions led to significant increases in market prices. We then estimate a quantitative spatial equilibrium model using cross-region variations. The model implies that the sanctions reduced the country's manufacturing output by 12.9% and real income by 15.3%. We further quantify the potential impact of alternative sanction scenarios.
