Reviews

This is a fascinating-and frightening-analysis of the drivers of North Korean foreign policy since 1979. Through close analysis of Pyongyang's words and actions, Kim shows that regime survival is the primary goal in a cold-eyed calculus of provocation and threats. Only reliable guarantees of the regime's security or-more likely-regime collapse will produce the conditions for a multilateral solution to the Korean problem. -- Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University This volume presents a timely, up-to-date, balanced, and in-depth analysis of succession politics, security dilemma, and foreign policy of North Korea. This is a must-read for all those who are interested in North Korean affairs. -- Chung-in Moon, Yonsei University For any specialist in North Korean studies the book will provide very useful background knowledge, so it clearly should be read and, occasionally, re-read.
