Korea's Economy Volume 26About Korea's Economy
Korea’s Economy is KEI’s annual journal publication dedicated to the key issues of the day for the Korean economy. Articles in Korea’s Economy are designed to give the casual, but informed reader insight into issues related to Korea’s markets and financial institutions, economic reform, economic relations with the wider world, and North Korea. It is published jointly each year with the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy.
What corresponding changes are being made to the Korea-U.S. economic and trade relationship? If, through the changes of the last decade, our trade relationship has evolved from one narrowly focused on outstanding trade issues to a broader and more strategic relationship, as I will argue, what are the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead of us? This year, instead of writing a traditional article focused on the trade issues of the moment, I approach the topic from a historical perspective, which may help policymakers view one of the most important and dynamic relationships on Earth in an appropriate light.
