The East Asia Institute launched a comprehensive archival website for North Korea-related documents on November 15, 2018. The site, called Global North Korea, is part of the institute’s ongoing research and policy development in the area of inter-Korean relations and the North Korea nuclear problem, and offers a hub for knowledge exchange on North Korea-related research.

As the process of resolving the North Korean nuclear issue continues to be plagued with difficulties, a variety of conflicting observations and analysis on the North's nuclear facilities and missile bases have emerged. Information, news and analysis that take a short-term perspective without clear long-term alternatives to North Korea's strategy are intensifying the confusion. The site provides a four-point framework through which to view a curated collection of data from reliable sources and offers theoretical views on North Korea's nuclear weapons strategy. Using the four-point framework, the site also aims to provide a systematic view and analysis of the situation in North Korea as well as a unique way to view broader trends and shifts over time. In addition, this website offers comprehensive reviews of analysis presented by various foreign policy research institutes and presents a distinct South Korean perspective as an alternative to mainstream views.
