Politics of the North Korean Diaspora

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the dynamics of the North Korean diaspora, highlighting how the authoritarian regime's security concerns influence the political engagement of North Korean émigrés. It discusses Pyongyang's perception of the diaspora as a threat, leading to efforts to undermine their political activities and voices. As a result, émigrés adopt host country democratic norms, actively participating in both local and global politics. This work offers new empirical insights into the intersection of regime type and diaspora politics, enhancing the understanding of comparative authoritarianism's global implications.
