Policy Forum 07-070: Disaster Management and Institutional Change in the DPRK: Trends in the Songun Era
Alexandre Y. Mansourov, Professor of Security Studies at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and a specialist in Northeast Asian security, politics, and economics, focusing primarily on the Korean Peninsula, writes, “North Korea is an evolved system (not a designed system).

The question remains open: Is there a tipping point for such a complex, dynamically stable system like North Korea’s?”
