Emerging as a state that has successfully developed and tested missiles and nuclear weapons, North Korea has consolidated the Kim family dynasty through the appointment of Kim Jong Un as Pyongyang's latest strongman. The author provides an empirically rich account of new diplomatic recognitions, military partnerships, knowledge trade, coping mechanisms to offset international sanctions, import and export partners, foreign investment practices and engagement within the Global South. The resulting picture is that of a state that is, against all odds, mainstreaming, and becoming a more complex and relevant actor in the 21st century diplomatic world. 651 0 $a Korea (North) $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Diplomacy. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons $z Korea (North) 650 0 $a Ballistic missile defenses $z Korea (South) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214023635.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F17A445AF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
