As high oil cost derived from the US-Iranian conflict continues, an energy crisis is approaching to the world due to the strong possibility of an Iran-Israel-US military conflict focused on the prevention of Iranian nuclear weapon development, and the nuclear power reactor incident in Japan caused by the East Japan earthquake and tsunami. A monopoly on natural energy resources by China, which has emerged as G2 economy, has also heightened concern regarding an energy crisi among East Asian countries. In a spirit of openness brought by waves of democratization known as the 'Jasmine Revolution' among oil-producing Middle Eastern countries, we will discuss the future energy policy for the Korean economy by focusing on the energy crisis and its prospects. ■ Moderator CHANG, Man Key (Chairman, Korea Human Develoment Institute) ■ Main Speaker HONG, Suk Woo (Minister, Ministry of Knowledge Economy) ■ Presenters & Discussants WHANG, Jooho (President, Korea Institute of Energy Research) SHIN, Jeong Shik (Chair Professor, Chung-Ang University) ■ Rapporteurs CHO, Woo Jin (Professor, Tama University) KIM, Jinseong (Korea Human Development Institute)
