The Unification Forecasting Clock is a three-year project conducted by the Korea Institute for National Unification (KINU) that spans the years 2009 through 2011. The purpose of the project is simple but weighty: When will unification occur and what will bring it about? In order to answer these questions, especially given that half of the peninsula is veiled in mystery, we need to adopt a judgment-based quantitative method using the Delphi technique. Numerous studies related to the unification issue have accumulated; however, in most cases the focus was on pending issues and short-term policy goals. Moreover, very little research could be found that scientifically reviews and predicts the factors for unification based on objective data. Thus, the goal of this research is to objectively measure and analyze various factors that affect unification and to design an optimal forecast model (Unification Forecast Clock) to demonstrate a peaceful solution.
