Abstract
By all accounts, Northeast Asia is expected to show the most dynamic economic growth of any country in the world, for at least the next two decades. At the center of this expectation lies the prospect that China will rise as the most promising economy in the coming years. At the same time, the economic growth of South Korea, which will continue to surpass the world average, and the status of Japan as a global economic leader also account for the rosy views on a thriving Northeast Asia. In addition, the signs of economic revitalization and active reforms implemented to attract foreign investment in Russia and Mongolia, along with some recent moves toward a market economy in North Korea indicate that an even greater wave of economic prosperity may await the Northeast Asian region
