Summary:

Provides overview of role, purposes, and results of the Kaesong Industrial Complex, an industrial park located in North Korea just across the demilitarized zone from South Korea. Examines U.S. interests, policy issues, options, and legislation; and summarizes recent developments. Discusses whether the U.S. should support a project that provides revenue to the Kim Jong-Il regime and includes questionable labor practices, but is simultaneously enhancing cooperation between South and North Korea by lowering labor costs for Korean businesses and providing a possible beachhead for market reforms in North Korea.
