| Summary |
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.

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) |
