An analysis of the evolving relationship between North and South Korea. With contributions from a multi-national panel of experts, it discusses topics such: as South Korean politics and economy; Korea's relationship with its neighbours and with the USA; changes in North Korea; and more.

Fifty-five years after its founding at the dawn of the cold war, North Korea remains a land of illusions. Isolated and anachronistic, the country and its culture seem to be dominated exclusively by the official ideology of Juche, which emphasizes national self-reliance, independence, and worship of the supreme leader, General Kim Jong Il.
