Featuring contributions by some of the leading experts in Korean
studies, this book examines the political content of Kim Jong-Il's
regime maintenance, including both the domestic strategy for regime
survival and North Korea's foreign relations with South Korea,
Russia, China, Japan, and the United States. It considers how and
why the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) became a
"hermit kingdom" in the name of Juche (self-reliance) ideology, and
the potential for the barriers of isolationism to endure. This
up-to-date analysis of the DPRK's domestic and external policy
linkages also includes a discussion of the ongoing North Korean
nuclear standoff in the region.
