김정은 시대 북한의 대외경제: 인식, 정책, 그리고 전망

Abstract

The change in the external economy of the Jong-un era is distinct from the Kim Jong-Il. The foreign economic sector has become an important part of economic development. Based on this change in perception, various changes can be identified. Firstly, the decentralization of trade and the expansion of discretion of companies through the revision of the trade law were carried out systematically. Secondly, trade-related infrastructure was improved. A government-sponsored trade department was created, and training programs were developed to foster trade-related human resources. Thirdly, a special economic development zone system was introduced, which combined various incentive systems. However, despite the attempts of change in the foreign economy of the era of Kim Jong-un, China's trade structure did not improve in trade. In particular, the trade deficit has been intensified due to the export of primary goods and the import of secondary goods. In addition, the role of the external economic sector, which is undermined by economic sanctions in the international community, needs to be improved. Fortunately, efforts have been made to identify new areas of export processing in the economic sanction phase. Therefore, there is a possibility that even in the international sanctions framework for North Korea, some gaps in sanctions can be found and a certain amount of performance can be achieved. In sanctions, the dual situation of vitalizing the foreign economy cannot be sustained. When North Korea recognizes the importance and role of the foreign economic more than it does now. It will try to eliminate the factors that hinder the activation of the foreign economic sector, and for the purpose of this effort, will make a meaningful agreement for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
