Far from always having been an isolated nation and a pariah state
in the international community, North Korea exercised significant
influence among Third World nations during the Cold War era. With
one foot in the socialist Second World and the other in the
anticolonial Third World, North Korea occupied a unique position as
both a postcolonial nation and a Soviet client state, and sent
advisors to assist African liberation movements, trained
anti-imperialist guerilla fighters, and completed building projects
in developing countries. State-run media coverage of events in the
Third World shaped the worldview of many North Koreans and helped
them imagine a unified anti-imperialist front that stretched from
the boulevards of Pyongyang to the streets of the Gaza Strip and
the beaches of Cuba. This book tells the story of North Korea's
transformation in the Third World from model developmental state to
reckless terrorist nation, and how Pyongyang's actions, both in the
Third World and on the Korean peninsula, ultimately backfired
against the Kim family regime's foreign policy goals. Based on
multinational and multi-archival research, this book examines the
intersection of North Korea's domestic and foreign policies and the
ways in which North Korea's developmental model appealed to the
decolonizing world.
