In this book he traces the implications of what he has found. By threatening mass destruction, Pyongyang now extorts aid in an effort to prop up its regime. Eberstadt's data provide the basis for an accurate understanding of what is happening in the North Korean economy and reveal a system that has failed. -Ezra Vogel, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences, Harvard University Nick Eberstadt provides concrete evidence that North Korea's current poverty and misery are the ineluctable results of the government's Marxist policies. But the massive reform that is needed to avoid national collapse would unseat the regime and so is resisted. This book describes how the regime has succeeded nonetheless in extorting benefits from the United States and the rest of the world that amount to subsidies for tyranny -Christopher Cox, Chairman, U.S. House Policy Committee The End of North Korea is a penetrating analysis of the likely costs and conse- quences of a policy that attempts to purchase stability on the Korean peninsula by keeping the North Korean regime on life support. Eberstadt's persuasive argument that the price of Korean unification will increase, the longer it is delayed, provides a healthy antidote to current thinking about a 'soft landing' for North Korea. This book is essential reading for scholars and policymakers alike. -Paul Wolfowitz, Dean, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University Nick Eberstadt offers a powerful, up-to-date, objective, and finally devastating account of regime dynamics in North Korea. His analysis of the coming end of the regime is sound and empirically rich, and it makes the book essential reading for policymakers, scholars, and students interested in Korean and East Asian affairs. -Chung-in Moon, Professor of Political Science, Yonsei University, Seoul Nicholas Eberstadt is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research and a visiting fellow at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. 5I2995
