A Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons : perspectives on socioeconomic development / Chan Young Bang, editor.

Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, an imprint of Springer Nature Switzerland, [2023]

xii, 139 pages ; 22 cm.

"This book focuses on three main subjects: the DPRK's inability to survive as a nuclear state; the importance of China's role in encouraging denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula; and the possibility of an alternative political organization for the DPRK including a transition to a market-economy in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons. The book approaches North Korean issues from the perspective that the regime cannot survive without nuclear weapons which, rather than being a genuine danger to other states, are bargaining chips for security and survival. The book includes views from prominent academics and practitioners, including a former British ambassador to North Korea, putting forward an ambitious set of recommendations and analyses based on hands-on experience in the region.
