4:30pm - 6:00pm | Stiteler Hall B26

North Korea is now experiencing a leadership transition. But since the great famine of the mid-1990s, North Korea has been undergoing a broader social transformation as well. Drawing on an analysis of the famine and surveys of refugees and firms doing business in North Korea reveals a highly rigid order coupled with a process of "marketization from below" that poses both political and economic challenges for the regime.
