{"product_id":"hard-target-stephan-haggard-9781503600362","title":"Hard Target: Sanctions, Inducements, and the Case of North Korea","description":"\u003cp\u003eBecause authoritarian regimes like North Korea can impose the costs of sanctions on their citizens, these regimes constitute \"hard targets.\" Yet authoritarian regimes may also be immune--and even hostile--to economic inducements if such inducements imply reform and opening. This book captures the effects of sanctions and inducements on North Korea and provides a detailed reconstruction of the role of economic incentives in the bargaining around the country's nuclear program. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStephan Haggard and Marcus Noland draw on an array of evidence to show the reluctance of the North Korean leadership to weaken its grip on foreign economic activity. They argue that inducements have limited effect on the regime, and instead urge policymakers to think in terms of gradual strategies. \u003ci\u003eHard Target\u003c\/i\u003e connects economic statecraft to the marketization process to understand North Korea and addresses a larger debate over the merits and demerits of \"engagement\" with adversaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephan Haggard, Marcus Noland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150360036X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503600362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2017","brand":"Stephan Haggard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935271911679,"sku":"9781503600362","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9dfa5572-45c1-4ac5-ade7-4aadc1f572f5.jpg?v=1681418861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-target-stephan-haggard-9781503600362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
