North Korea continues to be a country of great concern internationally, where future developments are uncertain, especially as a result of the succession to the leadership of Kim Jong-un following the death of Kim Jong-il. It is also a country which is relatively unknown and relatively little studied. This book provides a comprehensive, detailed survey of economic and political developments in the last few years. As such it provides many insights into the current trends which are likely to shape the country’s future direction.
"an invaluable resource to any scholar of North Korea's political, diplomatic and economic development after the collapse of the Soviet Union" - Christopher Griffin, in Pacific Affairs, reviewing Ian Jeffries' earlier book North Korea - A Guide to Economic and Political Developments, which ends in 2005
"In any case, the author should be lauded for having meticulously collected commentaries on major and minor developments in and around North Korea that will soon disappear from our short-term memories as well as from the front pages of web search engines. The value of this book will thus grow over the years." - Rudiger Frank, The Copenhagen Journal of Asian Studies
