Since the 1990s, North Korea has sought to re-establish its network of commercial and economic relations with its near neighbours through the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The paper will look at the definition of "network" in the context of these relations with its neighbours and, in particular, with South Korea. The paper will consider the extent to which the SEZs have succeeded or not, through generating positive externalities, and the particular factors, both internal and external, that have affected their progress to date. At the heart of the paper is consideration of whether the SEZs constitute an opportunity or threat to North Korea and whether the authorities' preference for foreign aid rather than foreign capital for pursuing its relations has served to diminish the effectiveness of the SEZ-based network of relations.(original abstract)

Począwszy od lat 90. XX wieku, Korea Północna, poprzez tworzenie specjalnych stref ekonomicznych, dążyła do kształtowania sieci handlowych i relacji ekonomicznych ze swoimi najbliższymi sąsiadami. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia sieci w kontekście relacji Korei Północnej z jej sąsiadami, szczególnie z Koreą Południową. Artykuł przedstawia czynniki mające wpływ na tworzenie sieci, sukcesy i porażki tego procesu oraz ich rozwój.(abstrakt oryginalny)
