For the purpose of our study, we have divided it into three categories: the government-initiated mandatory, the government-initiated voluntary and the private-initiated voluntary environmental labelling.

Central Asia is no longer a peripheral part of the international arena, but instead occupies a strategic core of the geopolitical system. Uzbekistan, situated in the very heart of Central Asia, not only serves as an important military or political partner but also as a potential export market and energy supplier. Therefore we should review the possibility of future cooperation with Uzbekistan. (The rest is omitted.)< -

Korea has to break from the previous trade paradigm, export maximizing and import minimizing trade combined with free riding on worldwide economic liberalization. Concurrently Korea needs to create a new paradigm based on actively taking advantage of globalization as a driving force of economic development. (The rest is omitted.)< -

economic outlook, economic cooperationDownloadContentSummaryThe Economic situation in Turkey is gradually reviving thanks to multiple factors such as high-speed growth rate, decrease of interest rate led by currency depreciation, and the slowing down of the inflation rate. However much of the economic reform agenda is still pending including the huge burden of public debt. Red tapes in the bureaucratic system, high commission rate and side costs are regarded as impediments to potential economic growth. In addition, the still growing inflation rate, currency exchange risk, and high interest rate which all result in financial burden, heavy corporation tax, and burdensome electricity cost are hindering Korean firms from entering the Turkish market.

EpilogueSummaryThe year 2005, the target year for Japan and Korea to conclude their FTA, will be the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties after their painful history. During the last four decades, Japan-Korea relations have matured gradually, promoted in part by miraculous development and catch-up by the Korean economy. In 1996, Korea became an OECD member, the second country in Asia following Japan. As an OECD member, Korea is expected to share common global responsibilities to promote economic growth and liberalization. Although the Korean economy was hit by the Asian financial crisis in 1997, Korea surprised the world by instigating a comprehensive structural reform and subsequent speedy economic recovery led by a strong political will and swift business initiatives. Korea has accomplished the IMF conditionality, while receiving the IMF financial assistance package. (The rest is omitted.)< -

IV. Summary and ConclusionSummaryThis study analyzes the structural changes of North Korea's economy using social accounting matrix.<
It finds that, since the early 1990s, North Korea's official economy has shrunk because of the collapse of state-owned enterprises, and the private economy has grown as a result of the people's effort to survive amid economic difficulties. Meanwhile, the military spending has increased demonstrating the military's important role in maintaining domestic stability and external security. Gradually, and often under state-initiated reforms like the reform measures introduced in July 2002, the private sector in North Korea has expanded at the expense of the official economy, thereby transforming the North into a market economy. International engagement toward a peaceful resolution with North Korea should begin with efforts to support growth in the private sector.
