Linked below are three op-eds written with Steph Haggard and Erik Weeks addressing the looming humanitarian crisis in North Korea which have appeared recently in Newsweek International, the Korean Herald, and OpenDemocracy, respectively:
“Asia’s Other Crisis” – Newsweek International
“Famine in North Korea? The Evidence” – Korean Herald
“North Korea: The Next Famine” – OpenDemocracy
A longer policy brief addressing North Korea’s hunger issues can be accessed at:
“North Korea on the Precipice of Famine”
Finally, from the Shameless Commerce Division, Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid and Reform will soon be released in paperback. In anticipation, Columbia University Press is trying to reduce its inventory of the hardcover edition, and through 31 May has put the book on sale for the extraordinarily low price of $7 (the discount appears once you add the book to your shopping cart). Act quickly while supplies last!:
“Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid, and Reform” – Columbia University Press
(NKeconWatch: With an honest sales pitch like that, you should probably buy two copies)
