<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">A joint conference by HSS Korea and
IPUS/ SNU to discuss the efforts of capacity-building for North Korea up to
date and the effects of capacity-building on the North Korean economy and
society, including the potential impact on Korean unification. Capacity-development
has been increasing in importance for the projects carried out in North Korea,
which moved away from pure humanitarian projects, but at the same time hampered
by internal factors (the nature of the North Korean regime) as well as external
factors (the security crises leading to a very restricted and limited approach
to projects in North Korea by donor countries). This conference explores the
possibilities of capacity-building and capacity-development in various societal
sectors and their possible impact on change in the North Korean society. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">In terms of academic outcome, the
conference should summarize efforts of capacity-building (or,
capacity-development) and evaluate their impact on society and economy. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">In terms of policy outcomes, the
conference should offer, in particular through a roundtable discussion, advice
on capacity-building policy measures to be taken by the South Korean state,
international actors and actors in businesses and NGO. </span></p>
