North Korea's Politics: Path of Reclusive Tyranny

Sung Chull Kim

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2016, vol. 08, issue 01, 170-180

Abstract: Kim Jong-un's obsession with full control of power and his single-minded pursuit of nuclear advancement, as seen in the fourth nuclear test in January 2016, have further isolated his country. North Korea apparently is taking a revisionist strategy: to change the rule of the game in Northeast Asia and in inter-Korean relations. North Korea exploits the Chinese dilemma of condemning the defiant behaviour but cannot abandon the country.
