{"product_id":"dynasty-hakjoon-kim-9781931368308","title":"Dynasty: The Hereditary Succession Politics of North Korea","description":"\u003cp\u003eScholar and senior journalist Kim Hakjoon provides a timely analysis of the rise of the Kim Il Sung family dynasty and the politics of leadership succession in Pyongyang, including Kim Jong Il's death and the advent of his son Kim Jong Un. Drawing on official North Korean statements and leaked confidential documents, journalistic accounts, and defector reports, the book synthesizes virtually all that is known about the secretive family and how it operates within a bizarre governing system. Particularly valuable for a Western audience is the author's extensive use of South Korean studies of the Kim family, many of which have not been translated into English. Dynasty is insightful reading for officials, journalists, scholars, and students interested in the Korean Peninsula and its prospects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hakjoon Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931368309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931368308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter H.
