| Comments | Abstract: Going beyond news headlines about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)’s missiles and nuclear weapons, the open lecture seeks to develop a deeper understanding of lives inside the country by shedding light on domestic economic activities and agricultural reforms. What has transpired in the agricultural sector since the great famine of the 1990s? What are economic initiatives taken in recent years? Are they bringing about tangible changes in the lives of the residents in North Korea? The speakers and discussants engage these questions as they offer insights into contemporary lives and recent changes in the country. Language: English and Korean (English Translation) |
