  • Famine in North Korea

    Markets, Aid, and Reform

    by Stephan Haggard, Marcus Noland ...

    Kyrgyzstan in Comparative Perspective

    by Johan Engvall ...
    Series Book 24 - Central Eurasia in Context

  • Hard Target

    Sanctions, Inducements, and the Case of North Korea

    by Stephan Haggard, Marcus Noland ...
    Series series Studies in Asian Security
    Because authoritarian regimes like North Korea can impose the costs of sanctions on their citizens, these regimes constitute "hard targets." Yet authoritarian regimes may also be immune—and even hostile—to economic inducements if such inducements imply reform and opening. This book captures the effects of sanctions and inducements on North Korea and provides a detailed reconstruction of the role ... Read more
