영문 초록

In the millenium the new relationship of South and North governments was referred to the fact that General secretary Kim Jong II said to the present Kim Dae Jung in Pyongyang Summit talks that “he could be escaped from hermitage into the outward world in virtue of president.” In view of this fact, the North Korea made decision of transition into the reforming economy through not only the south and north summit talks but also those of U.S. —DPRK sooner. Both governments of South and North have agreed with the consistently, independently and peaceful reunification to break off the excessive confrontation and mistrust through the South— North Joint Communique of 1972，The Basic Agreement of 1992，and The South and North Joint Declaration of 2000. In particular, the Pyongyang Summit took a comprehensive approach to ending the Cold-War confrontation on the peninsula and contributed to the effort of encouraging North Korea to open and change. Above all North Korea and U.S. have developed an amicable relationship and mutual trust by Joint Communique 12th October 2000. However it is necessary to examine itself what has North Korea had its’ causes and expecting results of reforming economy policy. Of course the cause of changes in North Korea is due to either South Korea’s sunbeams policy or the isolated position of North Korea without supporting from outward world which is indispensable to compete with the crisis of structural economic recession and critical shortage. As for power classes of DPRK, they would notice that its amicable relationship with South Korea and USA is essential to maintain political constitution of North Korea under looking forward to western economic support. With these circumstances, the peaceful coexistent of South and North should be bound up with the consistent interchange and cooperation, and construction of trust with both South and U.S. By the way both governments might not agree a distinctive and confident reunification model yet. This fact can be turned out the reason that both Summit’s Joint Declaration referred “the 3 6 /北?? a W 究 第4號 commonwealth system proposed by the south and the low—level federation proposed by the north” (article 2). In 1990s the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (“North Korea”) might not have maintained the grand family state of ’Juche ideology’ because of going through the sustainable economic recession without restructuring former planning economic system. Russia and Eastern European countries’ earlier experience with a command economy, despite its idealistic goal of human fulfillment, produced only “pseudᄋ socialism”. The institutions essential to effective decision making were never come into being, and the systems that was devised were dictatorial and inefficient of achieving sustained growth. Yet the transformation of former socialist economies towards market-based economies spans an unusually wide range problems that range from the absence of hard currency and cohesive legal institution to a lack of business culture and hard budget system. In particular a few of the dilemmas facing governments of reforming economies lies in defining its role in a fast changing environment at the same instance maintaining political, economic and social order, by the way political leaders or authorities can relinquish some political powers or strike balance between the need political coordination and the pursuit of economic freedom. For the government of North Korea taking on a pragmatic approach, Kim Jong II has examined the problems, failures and issues reforming economies C the gradualistic’ approach versus big bang’ approach) such as China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and eastern European. Amidst “planning economy versus market— based economy” arguments, North Korea made a decision that the success of reforming system depends on the pace and sequence of stabilisation (so to speak institutionalisation’) ，marktisation
