Criminal Sovereignty: Understanding North Korea's Illicit International Activities
Dr Bruce E Bechtol Jr, Mr Robert M Collins, Dr Paul Rexton Kan
Monograph by US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute
"The authors of this monograph have exposed a key piece of the puzzle which helps to provide a better understanding of North Korea’s surreptitious international behavior. For years, North Korea’s military provocations have been obvious to the world, however, much of its decisionmaking is shrouded in secrecy, particularly that of a wide-range of clandestine activities. This monograph is unique in the way that it sheds light on the illicit activities of the regime, and how those illegal activities are used to support its military programs and the government itself."
