Event Description

The Cold War divided the Korean peninsula and pushed North and South Korea
on to two very different but sometimes strangely similar developmental
trajectories. In this conference, we will look at different aspects of the
North and South Korean economies during the Cold War. We will examine how
the Korean War impacted both Korean states economically and how each state
tried to modernize and develop in the aftermath of the war. This conference
will also pay attention to how outside powers such as the United States and
China shaped economic development in the two Koreas. Ultimately, this
conference seeks to understand how the Cold War economic transformations of
North and South Korea left an indelible imprint on the peninsula, the East
Asian region, and the world.

Founded in the year 2016, the GW Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is a
university wide Institute housed in the Elliott School of International
Affairs at the George Washington University. The establishment of the GWIKS
in 2016 was made possible by a generous grant from the Academy of Korean
Studies (AKS). The mission of GWIKS is to consolidate, strengthen, and grow
the existing Korean studies program at GW, and more generally in the
greater D.C. area and beyond. The Institute enables and enhances productive
research and education relationships within GW, and among the many experts
throughout the region and the world.
