Snyder and Park did a superb job assembling an impressive set of papers on North Korea’s foreign policy over the last decade under the Kim Jong-un regime. This book focuses on North Korea’s conflictual relationships with the US and South Korea. This excellent book is an important addition to Jacques Fuqua’s Nuclear Endgame: The Need for Engagement with North Korea (CH, Apr'08, 45-4642). Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
