This session aims to deal with the direction of national future strategy and the role of local government in overcoming financial crisis and creating new opportunities in this era in which the global environment is becoming increasingly complex. In particular, it is significant that we attempt to discover a creative developmental strategy so as to boost Jeju’s global competitiveness, as well as reflect core values and direction of national future strategy by focusing on the advent of a new government in Korea. The session will stimulate meaningful dialogue among participants resulting in productive outcomes, thereby allowing us to rethink both national and local vision. This endeavor will eventually extend into the ultimate goal of Jeju Forum’s encouragement of ‘New Waves in Asia.’
