With the full support of the Korean government and a tremendously successful history, we have been trying hard to institutionalize the Forum as a crucial regional venue for distinguished experts to discuss and carve out a new blue- print for Northeast Asian peace and prosperity. This volume is a collection of papers and essays presented at the 4th Jeju Peace Forum, which was held from June 21 - June 23, 2007, in Jeju, South Korea as a continuation of the previous 2001, 2003 and 2005 Forums. In an effort to ascertain the future state of the Korean penin- sula at a time of momentous change, the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, together with the International Peace Foundation (with which the Jeju Peace Institute is affiliated) and the East Asia Founda- tion, planned the Forum based on the theme of “Peace and Prosperity in Northeast Asia: Exploring the European Experience.” The 4th Jeju Peace Forum proceeded in the form of “forums within a forum” by holding two special sessions: Special Session I, titled “From Helsinki to Jeju: Designing the Jeju Process for a Multilateral Cooperation Mechanism in Northeast Asia,” and Special Session II, “IT Cooperation in East Asia.” This reflects JPI’s keen awareness that we need to closely examine the correlation between the formation of a Northeast Asian security/economic community and information tech- 6 Peace and Prosperity in Northeast Asia [Vol. I] nology that can bring about changes in international relations as well as changes in political, security, and economic processes at a domestic level. The 4th Forum explored the European experience in political, security and economic fields and applied them to the problems of peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia. In other words, throughout this forum, keeping the key issue of forming a cooperative framework in Northeast Asia in mind, we addressed the European experience during the Cold War and in the post-Cold War era, including the CSCE/OSCE (Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe/ Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), German reuni- fication, and the economic and political integration of the EU. We explored applicable ideas and the framework for peace and prosperi- ty in Northeast Asia, and examined whether they would be useful for accelerating the process of institutionalizing regional peace and com- mon prosperity. In publishing the proceedings of the 4th Jeju Peace Forum, we would like to extend our gratitude to all the participants. We also would like to thank the co-hosts, organizers and co-sponsors for their generous support: the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province , the International Peace Foundation, the East Asia Foundation (co-hosts); the Jeju Peace Institute (organizer); the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry of Information and Communication, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation, the Presidential Committee on Preface 7 Northeast Asian Cooperation Initiatives, Cheju National University, Jeju Free International City Development Center and the Jeju Develop- ment Institute (co-sponsors). We are also grateful for the last-minute efforts on the volume by Dr. Tae-Ryong Yoon, Dr. Bong-jun Ko, Dr. Seong-woo Yi, Prof. Douglas Hansen, Ms. Jeongseon Ko, and Mr. Ben Bong-Kyu Chun.
