Research

In his publication of They Think They’re Normal : Enduring Questions and New Research on North Korea - A Review Essay, David C. Kang talks about North Korea’s foreign and domestic policy, North Korea’s behavioral motivation, and lastly, to what extent North Korea’s behavior predictable or not. He uses three scholarly works of Patrick McEachern, Stephan Haggard and Marcus Noland, and Suk-Young Kim to fundamentally understand North Korea’s way of survival as a communist regime and their future endeavors.
