The book provides a comprehensive and accessible account of North Korea and its economy, making it useful for students, academics, and anyone interested in international economics. A review of the book praises its documentation and analysis of economic issues and their relevance.

Mention North Korea to people and they will conjure up many unflattering images, particularly in the wake of George W. Bush denouncing the state as part of an axis of evil . Despite this cold war type rhetoric, the state of North Korea has begun to recognise the difficult challenges that it faces and is now trying to get to grips with them systematically. This book brings together a selection of many world experts on the North Korean economy and covers such issues as: possible unification with South Korea; the significance of China's economic success; and Europe and the United States' roles in North Korea. This text provides an accessible and comprehensive account of this unique country and its economy. It should be of interest not only for students and academics with an interest in Korean studies, international finance and transition economies but also for anyone with an interest in international economics. Review: This collection is...very valuable. In particular, the documentation and analyses of economic issues usefully describe the challenges and propose a direction that remains relevant. - The Journal of Asian Studies
