North Korea is one of the most closed and secretive societies in the world. Despite a high level of interest from the outside world, we have very little detailed information about how the country functions economically. In this valuable book for both the academic and policy-making circles, Byung-Yeon Kim offers the most comprehensive and systematic analysis of the present day North Korean economy in the context of economic systems and transition economics. It addresses what is really happening in the North Korean economy, why it has previously failed, and how the country can make the transition to a market economy. It takes advantage not only of carefully reconstructed macro data but also rich, new data at the micro level, such as quantitative surveys of North Korean refugees settled in South Korea, and the surveys of Chinese companies that interact heavily with North Korea.

This edited book is one of the most updated and comprehensive accounts of the North Korean regime under Kim Jong-un’s era. It covers not only nuclear policies but also the political regime, the economy, society, and religion. It sets out to uncover multi-dimensional aspects of North Korea, explains how they have evolved, and predicts how they will proceed. It further investigates the extent to which his policies are different from his father’s and whether and why they have changed during the course. This book will be an invaluable reference for scholars, journalists and NGOs trying to make sense of the present and future of the Korean peninsula. Byung-Yeon Kim is Director of the Institute for Future Strategy and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Economics at Seoul National University. He published a number of articles in international journals and wrote an influential book on the North Korean economy (Unveiling the North Korean Economy, Cambridge University Press, 2017).
