Vingt ans après la levée du rideau de fer, la République Populaire Démocratique de Corée (RPDC) constitue l"un des derniers vestiges de la période de la guerre froide. Sur le plan économique, bien que le pays se soit tenu volontairement à l‘écart du mouvement de mondialisation, il a cherché à adapter sa politique d"isolement pour s"ouvrir progressivement. Quels sont les résultats de cet effort d"ouverture ? Outre la Corée du Sud, quels sont ses principaux partenaires et quelle est la nature exacte de leurs échanges ? La RPDC est-elle en mesure de suivre les traces de son grand voisin chinois ?
This seminar is held with the support of the Korea Foundation.
