Economic Sanctions Against a Nuclear North Korea: An Analysis of United States and United Nations Actions Since 1950

This book provides a thorough historical overview of US and UN sanctions against North Korea since 1950. Several essays propose ways to make such sanctions more politically effective while limiting their harmful humanitarian consequences. The book also discusses the impact of the newest, six-nation agreement signed in February 2007 which would shut down North Korea’s nuclear facility in return for economic aid and a security guarantee.
