Asia Pacific Recovery Policies Explored at Economic Council Meeting
WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 14) – The Asia Pacific region is starting to see the effects of various stimulus packages, but a long road still lies ahead before the global economy recovers, experts said at the annual General Meeting of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, hosted this week by the East-West Center in Washington. A survey of more than 400 regional opinion leaders released during the two-day PECC conference also revealed that, while a substantial number of respondents expected much weaker economic growth in the next year, the degree of pessimism has declined compared to a previous survey conducted in October 2008.

Pursuing North Korea Sanctions That Work

Pursuing North Korea Sanctions That Work
EWC Non-Resident Senior Fellow Marcus Noland, who has done extensive economic and political research on North Korea, argues in an op-ed published in the current issue of Newsweek ’s international edition that the Obama administration and world community are unlikely to deter North Korea from staging another missile launch simply by the threat of a return to limited and “toothless” U.N economic sanctions, which have failed in the past. However, Noland writes, other, more substantive measures have previously proved more successful in dealing with the North Korean regime, including cutting off oil deliveries from China and freezing the regime’s overseas bank assets.
