An Economy of Peace

Abstract

This paper considers how the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula might be achieved. It suggests that change could be achieved through the impartation of social capital through personal experience. It proposes limited economic participation between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, as a vehicle for imparting social capital and as a means of beginning a gradual reunification of the peninsula. It also suggests that sanctions remain in place during any reunification process.
