Labor Standards And South Korean Employment Practices In North Korea, Marcus Noland
Labor Standards And South Korean Employment Practices In North Korea, Marcus Noland
Marcus Noland
By 2012, South Korean firms employed more than 50,000 workers in North Korea. This paper examines whether their employment practices are likely to encourage North Korea’s transition. Survey data indicate that the North Korean government has successfully circumscribed exposure of North Korean citizens both to South Koreans, and to more market-oriented economic practices. South Korean investment in North Korea may well be beneficial for both the firms and workers involved, but evidence of the sort of broader spillovers that proponents of engagement sometimes assert is not evident. The possibility of using voluntary labor codes to promote transformation is then examined.

Reform From Below: Behavioral And Institutional Change In North Korea, Marcus Noland, Stephan Haggard
Marcus Noland
The state is often conceptualized as playing an enabling role in a country’s economic development—providing public goods, such as the legal protection of property rights, while the political economy of reform is conceived in terms of bargaining over policy among elites or special interest groups. We document a case that turns this perspective on its head: efficiency-enhancing institutional and behavioral changes arising not out of a conscious, top-down program of reform, but rather as unintended (and in some respects, unwanted) by-products of state failure. Responses from a survey of North Korean refugees demonstrate that the North Korean economy marketized in …
Why Do States That Oppose Nuclear Proliferation Resist New Nonproliferation Obligations? Three Logics Of Nonproliferation Decision-Making, Andrew J. Grotto
Why Do States That Oppose Nuclear Proliferation Resist New Nonproliferation Obligations? Three Logics Of Nonproliferation Decision-Making, Andrew J. Grotto
Andrew J Grotto
Why do states that oppose nuclear proliferation resist initiatives to strengthen the nonproliferation regime? There is virtually universal support for the basic principle of nonproliferation—all countries but four are states-party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Yet enthusiasm among NPT parties for proposals to strengthen the nonproliferation regime varies widely even as new challenges highlight dangerous gaps in the regime.
There is something approaching consensus among scholars and policy-makers that many states resist proposals to strengthen the nonproliferation end of the NPT bargain largely because America and other NWS haven’t made satisfactory progress towards nuclear disarmament. I suggest this consensus rests …
