Regime Dynamics in North Korea : An European Perspective

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper has three parts. The first consists of reflections on the task set upon me, which was to offer a
specifically European perspective on North Korea. The second gives a sketchy and doubtless incomplete guide to
some work on North Korea done in Europe. The third offers my own views on North Korean regime dynamics, and
also on how they might be nudged in a more positive direction. One of the letters of invitation says "people here
are expecting to see an exchange of serious individual opinions and heated debate in our conference." I have tried to
do my best on both counts in what follows.
