Since Kim Jong-un's assumption of power in December 2011, North
Korea has undergone expanded nuclear development, political
isolation, and economic stagnation. Kim's early prioritization of
the byungjin policy, simultaneous economic and military or nuclear
development, highlighted his goal of transforming North Korea's
domestic economic circumstances and strengthening its position in
the world as a nuclear state. The central dilemma shaping Kim
Jong-un's foreign policy throughout his first decade in power
revolves around ensuring North Korea's prosperity and security
while sustaining the political isolation and control necessary for
regime survival. In order to evaluate North Korea's foreign policy
under Kim, this volume will examine the impact of domestic factors
that have influenced the formation and implementation of Kim's
foreign policy, Kim's distinctive use of summitry and effectiveness
of such meetings as an instrument by which to attain foreign policy
goals, and the impact of international responses to North Korea's
pursuit of nuclear capabilities on North Korea's foreign policy.
