Under Kim Jong-un, North Korea has experienced growing economic
markets, an emerging 'nouveau riche,' and modest levels of urban
development. To what extent is North Korean politics and society
changing? How has the growth of markets transformed state-society
relations? This Element evaluates the shifting relationship between
state, society, and markets in a deeply authoritarian context. If
the regime implements controlled economic measures, extracts rent,
and subsumes the market economy into its ideology, the state will
likely retain strong authoritarian control. Conversely, if it fails
to incorporate markets into its legitimating message, as private
actors build informal trust networks, share information, and
collude with state bureaucrats, more fundamental changes in
state-society relations are in order. By opening the 'black box' of
North Korea, this Element reveals how the country manages to teeter
forward, and where its domestic future may lie.
