Produktbeschreibung
North Korea's regime is often called crazy'. But what if we tried to understand the motivations of its leadership? This provocative insider account challenges the media myths which paint North Korea as a rogue state run by a mad leader, myths which are invoked by Western governments to support sanctions or even a military strike against the country. Informed by extraordinary direct access to the leadership of the DPRK, author Glyn Ford investigates the internal logic of the regime, providing game-changing insights. Acknowledging thatNorth Korea is a deeply flawed state with an atrocious record on human rights, heshows that some sections of the leadership are in fact desperate to modernise and end its isolation. But the country is trapped in an arms race against its enemies and is dependent on its nuclear program. What if, instead of forcing regime change, the West engaged with those who want to change the regime from within? Demanding a dialogue between East and West, Talking to North Korea provides a road map for averting the looming threat of a war in North East Asia that would threaten the lives of millions in the region and the wider world.
