A central debate about appropriate
policy toward North Korea centres
on the efficacy of inducements vs.
constraints, including the role of
sanctions. In this lecture, Professor
Haggard will report on the results of a
book-length study with Marcus Noland
of the political economy of North Korea
since the onset of the second nuclear
crisis in 2002-2003 into the Kim Jong
Un era. The book considers how North
Korea’s external economic relations
have evolved, including with China and
Russia, and the implications of these
changes for both economic reform and
security issues on the peninsula.
