He consolidated and protected the country with strict principles of unity and isolation. His grandson Kim Jong-un is following in the footsteps of Chinese revolutionary politics by modernising the country using the economy as the main tool of transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis short, informative book is an account of a country central to world politics and yet little understood. Further, it presents insider narratives of its people, whose self-image is radically different to the image we have of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Loretta Napoleoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742589812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742589817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Western Australia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.58d","brand":"Loretta Napoleoni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937924284671,"sku":"9781742589817","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1de6df53-86d1-4d43-82fc-a24e5dc3d9be.jpg?v=1681432701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-korea-loretta-napoleoni-9781742589817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
