Hack and Frack North Korea

Résumé du livre

It's time to add a new strategy to the policy mix towards North Korea. By employing the magic in NSA's box, debriefing of North Korean defectors including growing numbers of high-level officials, and what has become an increasingly porous border with China that sees tens of thousands of North Koreans and Chinese doing business, the US can sponsor information campaigns to create and sustain pressures for North Korea to reevaluate its foreign and domestic interests and priorities. This paper will make a case for the U.S. government to pursue three strategies if its operational objective is to force North Korea to reappraise its own interests. Individual self-determination and access to information, two properties the Kim regime fears most for its citizens to possess, are the short-term goals for North Koreans. This objective and two goals do not necessarily equate to regime change.
