Negotiation Dynamics to Denuclearize North Korea is an excellent addition to the fields of security studies, East Asian IR, Nuclear Non-Proliferation, and North Korean Politics and Foreign Policy. The volume offers a nice combination of theoretical framework and rich and multi-faceted empirical accounts of the international negotiations for denuclearization of North Korea. This is a rare scholarly work that carries out theory-guided analysis about North Korean foreign policy strategy in general and the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in particular. As such, the book is theoretically rigorous, empirically rich, and highly policy-relevant. - Jongseok Woo, coauthor of Politics in North and South Korea: Political Development, Economy, and Foreign Relations
