아시아안보연구센터는 7월 11일(월) UC샌디에고(University of California, San Diego)의 스테판 해거드(Stephan Haggard) 교수를 모시고 Smart Q&A를 진행하였습니다.

Smart Q&A는 국내외 주요이슈들에 대하여 해외의 주요 석학들과 국내 전문가들이 서로의 입장과 견해를 교환하는 자리인 스마트 토크의 기회를 빌어 당 세미나의 연사를 대상으로 진행되는 인터뷰입니다. 동아시아연구원은 Smart Q&A를 통하여 구체적이고 정책적인 함의를 담은 질문을 연사에게 던짐으로써 다각적인 관점으로 이슈를 조망하여 현안에 대한 이해도를 높이고, 관련 정책에 대한 창의적이며 전략적인 아이디어를 창출 하고자 합니다.

질문 내용

1) Research on North Korean Refugees

Witness to Transformation: Refugee Insights into North Korea, your recent book, focuses on surveys of North Korean refugees in South Korea and China. Could you tell us about some of the crucial findings from the surveys?

2) Overview of China-DPRK Relations

Kim Jong-il recently visited China, an extensive journey that was his third visit in the space of one year. There has been some speculation as to whether the outcome of Kim Jong-il’s visit was as successful as he expected. How would you assess China-DPRK relations?

3) Prospects for Inter-Korean Relations

Inter-Korean relations appear to be at an all-time low as both sides maintain their tough positions. South Korea is demanding an apology for last year’s provocations while North Korea has rebuffed any attempt at dialogue. Is there any chance for a breakthrough in inter-Korean relations?
