The Black Box: Demystifying the Study of Korean Unification and North Korea by
In this groundbreaking book, the leading scholar and practitioner Victor D. Cha shines a light into the "black box" of North Korea. Using innovative research methods from data scraping to ethnography, including microsurveys of ordinary North Koreans, Cha unearths a trove of new information. Through these pioneering findings, and incorporating his experiences as a White House official negotiating with North Korean interlocutors and traveling to North Korea, he paints a vivid picture of this enigmatic country and develops a grounded account of its behavior. Cha explores the regime's core tendencies, its policies toward the U.S.-South Korea alliance, cybersecurity threats, the potential for economic development, the growth of a nascent civil society, and pathways toward Korean unification, among other topics.
