Abstract

Feeding the North Korea myths
Cumings, Bruce | September 29, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the international relations of North Korea. Modem Korean history shows how to get into a war, but not how to get out of it. It should give Americans pause that the current political regime now wants Washington's backing in the midst of a still unpredictable transition in the power relations of East Asia. The North Korean people are starving, their ambassador to Egypt defects, Pyongyang pulls out of missile-control discussions with the United States and jeopardizes four-power talks scheduled for mid-September, 1997. It can be said that the regime must be collapsing.
