Through close analysis of Pyongyang's words and actions, Kim shows that regime survival is the primary goal in a cold-eyed calculus of provocation and threats. Only reliable guarantees of the regime's security or—more likely—regime collapse will produce the conditions for a multilateral solution to the Korean problem. -- Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University\u003cbr\u003eThis volume presents a timely, up-to-date, balanced, and in-depth analysis of succession politics, security dilemma, and foreign policy of North Korea. This is a must-read for all those who are interested in North Korean affairs. -- Chung-in Moon, Distinguished University Professor, Yonsei University\u003cbr\u003eFor any specialist in North Korean studies the book will provide very useful background knowledge, so it clearly should be read and, occasionally, re-read. * Pacific Affairs *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Preface Part 2 Part 1: Introduction Chapter 3 Chapter 1: Security Dilemma \u0026amp; the Succession Chapter 4 Chapter 2: Levels of Analysis \u0026amp; the Study of North Korea's Foreign Policy Part 5 Part II.
