Abstract
espanolA pesar del alto potencial de cooperacion economica existente entre las dos Coreas, las tensiones politicas y las sanciones internacionales han desalentado la sostenibilidad de los resultados economicos. Para superar estos desafios politicos, este articulo presenta dos marcos de agrupacion internacional y cadenas de valor globales (CGV) para desarrollar intercambios economicos eficaces y sostenibles. Estos marcos se aplican al caso del Complejo Industrial de Kaesong (KIC) y se realiza un analisis de las razones de su fracaso. Este articulo sugiere entonces dos soluciones estrategicas para el KIC: minimizar el papel de Corea del Norte reduciendolo a algunas actividades de CGV y alentar la inversion de mas empresas extranjeras. A diferencia de estudios anteriores que enfatizan en exceso los desafios politicos en las relaciones economicas intercoreanas, senalamoss que un enfoque eficaz a traves de la internacionalizacion no solo puede contribuir a un desarrollo economico sostenible, sino tambien a reducir las tensiones politicas. EnglishIn spite of the high potential of economic cooperation between the two Koreas, political tensions and international sanctions have discouraged the sustainability of economic outcomes. To overcome these political challenges, this article introduces two frameworks of international cluster and global value chains (GVCs) for developing effective and sustainable economic exchanges. These frameworks are applied to the case of the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) and analysis of the reasons for its failure is provided. This article then suggests two strategic solutions for the KIC: minimizing the role of North Korea to a few GVC activities, and encouraging more foreign companies’ investment. Unlike preceding studies that overemphasize the political challenges in inter-Korean economic relationships, we emphasize that an effective approach through internationalization can not only contribute to sustainable economic development but also ease political tensions.
