As North Korea struggles to cope with a failing economy, there have been clear signs of an incipient decentralization of governance, an expansion of private markets, and a growing sense of individualism within society. The origins, impact, and implications of these developments are thoroughly explored in "The Dynamics of Change in North Korea". The authors consider both the nature of the ongoing transformation and the government's role in and responses to it. Their work offers new insights into the path that North Korea is likely to take as it struggles to find its place in the region and in the international community. Focusing on both political and economic governance, this title explores the origins, impact, and implications of new developments in North Korea.
