Abstract

Assuming that economic development in North Korea is possible and a priority among the elite, this study compares Chinese and South Korean development strategies the DPRK could implement. While perfect application of another state's development strategy is impossible, historical, demographic, and ideological affinities with South Korea make for a better fit. However, such developmental prospects are largely reliant on international cooperation and acceptance. Applying the South Korean experience to North Korea's developmental prospects is fruitful and opens up a new debate about how the DPRK might achieve some economic parity to its East Asian neighbors.
