Description: Every year since 1990, North Korea's gross domestic product has recorded negative growth. Foreign trade has likewise declined. Hundreds of thousands of people have died of starvation. But rather than initiate economic reforms, the government has recommitted itself to the heavy-industry methods of Stalin and the Great Leap Forward local-industry techniques of Mao. Explaining such behavior amidst this decline has proven to be a mystery to most world observers.

Exploiting domestic and international news broadcasts and defector testimony, North Korea through the Looking Glass explores what the leadership and masses believe about their current predicament and why they refuse to adopt more pragmatic responses to the post-Cold War environment. Taking into account North Korea's conservatism, the book offers policy suggestions to deal with this anachronistic regime.
