Change and Continuity in North Korea

Chapter 14 in The Transformation of State Socialism, 2007, pp 250-268 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A debate on convergence and divergence of post-socialist development is no longer relevant. Demonstrated by various paths of development in the former and present state socialist countries, conceptualizing transition from state socialism should move beyond a simple one-way trajectory of transition towards political pluralism, democracy and the market. It needs to encompass the perception of diversity, deviation and regression in the process of system change.
