About
A public discussion with Andrei Lankov, a leading specialist on North Korea and Professor at Kookmin University. The discussion explored:
- North Korea’s geopolitical position and strategic behaviour;
- a comparison of the economic trajectories of Russia and North Korea;
- whether there is a risk of Russia evolving into a form of “second North Korea”, and what such a comparison can (and cannot) tell us.
The conversation was held with Michael Rochlitz, Associate Professor in the Economies of Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia at the University of Oxford.
