  • Toward a (Sub)-Regionalization of South Korea's Unification Policy – the Proposal of a Romantic Road for Gangwon Province
    https://doi.org/10.33728/ijkus.2020.29.1.008 International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 29, No. 1, 2020, 189-216. Toward a (Sub)-Regionalization of South Korea’s Unification Policy – the Proposal of a Romantic Road for Gangwon Province Bernhard Seliger, Hyun-Ah Choi* 70 years after the start of the Korean War, the Korean Peninsula is still divided, and a peace regime is not in sight. The hopes of 2018, a year full of exciting summit diplomacy starting with the Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang and culminating in terms of South-North relations in the Panmunjeom declaration of April 2018, have been dashed, and inter-Korean relations slid back to the familiar, but depressing pattern of stalemate and mutual recriminations. All initiatives taken as part of the Panmunjeom declaration, like the modernization and connection of railroad lines, are stalled or have failed. One reason for this might be that the approach taken for inter-Korean relations has always been highly centralized and focused on a few, large projects. These projects were prone to fail or were even, like in the case of the Iron Silk road, non-starters. The current debate to allow individual tourism is a reaction to overcome this centralized approach. Another important way to decentralize unification policies of South Korea is the sub-regionalization, i.e. the active involvement of provinces, counties and cities in unification policies. While there has been some precedent, like the mandarin shipments from Jeju province, the discretion for action by provinces or counties has always been very small.

Meteorological Assessment DPRK is located in monsoon area of East-Asia, and often impacted by typhoon-related disasters. Our country was affected by five typhoons in 2020. Three typhoons affected directly, and two typhoons indirectly. (1) Typhoon ‘HAGPIT’(2004) Typhoon HAGPIT formed over southeastern part of China at 12 UTC on August 1. It continued to move northwestward and landed on china at 18 UTC on August 3 with the Minimum Sea Level Pressure of 975hPa and Maximum Wind Speed of 35m/s, and weakened into a tropical depression at 15 UTC. After whirling, it moved northeastward, and landed around peninsula of RyongYon at 18 UTC on August 5, and continued to pass through the middle part of our country. Under the impact of HAGPIT, accumulated rainfall over several parts of the middle and southern areas of our country including PyongGang, SePo, SinGye, and PyongSan County reached 351-667mm from 4th to 6th August with strong heavy rain, and average precipitation was 171mm nationwide.

  • Humanitarian Aid in Favour of Vulnerable Groups in DPRK
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR HUMANITARIAN AID - ECHO Humanitarian Aid Decision 23 02 01 Title: Humanitarian aid in favour of vulnerable groups in DPRK Location of operation: DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA Amount of Decision: EUR 8,000,000 Decision reference number: ECHO/PRK/BUD/2006/01000 Explanatory Memorandum 1 - Rationale, needs and target population. 1.1. - Rationale: The protracted humanitarian crisis in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is caused by a combination of the continuing decline of the economy and an inability of the Government to effectively redress the situation with appropriate development measures. The floods of the mid-1990s exposed the humanitarian magnitude of the fast deteriorating living conditions in the DPRK that resulted from the dissolution of its relationship with the former Soviet bloc economies after the ending of the Cold War. As a major catastrophe involving according to some sources up to an estimated 2 million casualties at that time, this crisis set off one of the biggest humanitarian aid operations in history. There is a growing consensus among the international aid agencies working in DPRK that the humanitarian situation has stabilized. The nutritional status of the population has levelled off to a degree of chronic malnutrition similar to levels found in several countries in South East Asia. Food security has been improving following an increase in agricultural production that came as a result of external support to inputs, adjustments to the cropping system, and increased cultivation of marginal land on slopes (although this does present concerns for the longer term). Exchanges of surpluses among the population have become somewhat easier since small-scale trade was again permitted following the introduction of a first, albeit very timid, economic reform package in 2002.
