Driven by foreign investments and exports, the economies of many East Asian countries have seen dramatic growth—but North Korea has lagged behind. Why? What are the country's prospects for development? In what ways do its external relations affect its domestic economy?

To answer these questions, the authors of The Political Economy of North Korea delve deeply into the economic policies of the successive Kim rulers. The result is a systematic overview of North Korea's economic development and the wide range of domestic, regional, and global factors at play.
