X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Because authoritarian regimes like North K orea can impose the costs of sanctions on their citizens\, they constitute "hard targets." Yet authoritarian regimes may also be immune—and even hosti le—to economic inducements if such inducements imply reform and opening. Dr awing on an array of evidence—including trade data\, surveys of Chinese and South Korea firms doing business in North Korea\, and analysis of the coun try's political structure—Hard Target argues that to date\, both s anctions and engagement efforts have had little impact on the North Korean grand strategy\, suggesting what would have to change for denuclearization and a broader settlement on the peninsula.
