China, Russia, and Their Neighbors” (Vernon Press) is now out. I investigate
why some Asian and European states align with China or Russia despite
international relations theory seeing bandwagoning as a dangerous and desperate
strategy. The book is not uniquely focused on Korea, but North Korea is one of
the case studies. It should be of interest to Korea scholars with an eye on
International Relations.</span><br></p><p>
