The survival of North Korea : essays on strategy, economics and international relations

This book examines North Korea's survival strategy and practical solutions to a fifty-year nuclear standoff through a series of essays written by thirteen of the world's foremost scholars and leading experts on strategy, economics, and international relations. The Survival of North Korea, edited by Kim, Roehrig, and Seliger, is essential reading for anyone interested in peace in Northeast Asia. The book will be invaluable in helping policy-makers, diplomats, politicians, researchers, and other North Korea watchers to understand the three closely related issues about North Korea: (1) why North Korea will continue to survive; (2) how the United States and North Korea can build a mutual confidence; and (3) why a dialogue is the only viable way to resolve the North Korea problem peacefully.
