of North Korea. It has forced its way into our imaginations, yet so many
developments in North Korea's economic and social relations are either ignored
or misinterpreted. While the authorities search for non-threatening policy
experiments, young North Koreans seek opportunities in the business world.
Choson Exchange focuses on supporting pragmatic, talented North Koreans through
training in business, economic policy and law.<br>

Andray Abrahamian became interested in Korea issues following a trip to the DMZ
in 2003. This inspired an MA in International Relations from the University of
Sussex. He then earned a PhD focusing on Western media and images of North
Korea, while teaching International Relations at the University of Ulsan. He is
the Executive Director of Choson Exchange and a CSIS Kelly Fellow. Andray
speaks Korean and has visited the DPRK 20 times.<span style="color:rgb(77,89,99)"><br>
