The Prospects for North Korea Survival

by David Reese

North Korea is caught in a severe economic crisis at a time of leadership transition. The regime is unwilling to undertake necessary economic reform, fearful that change will lead to its downfall. It has sought international assistance to feed its population and has traded its nuclear program with the US in the hope of becoming part of the international community, but it retains its hostility to South Korea.
