The conference's aim was to evaluate the economic, political, and security facets of Yellow Sea rim economic cooperation and to learn more about the nature of economic interdependence that such cooperation might imply. All too often, these questions are addressed by only one group of experts, with political scientists, security analysts, and economists focused on separate themes and issues. The intent of this conference was to bring the benefit of combined expertise to bear on the larger question of the nation-state's vitality and viability in an era of economic globalization and fluid political and security relations. By focusing on the subregional level, we hope to gain insight on new forms of economic ties may inform and help shape the larger economic and political strategies of the nation-state.
