Negotiating on the Edge: North Korean Negotiating Behavior

Trade paperback. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. xviii, 213, [9] p. : Maps. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. From an on-line posting: "Scott Snyder is senior fellow for Korea studies and director of U.S. -Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Snyder's program examines the global implications of North Korean instability. He served as the project director for CFR's Independent Task Force on policy toward the Korean Peninsula. Prior to joining CFR, Snyder was a senior associate in the international relations program of The Asia Foundation, where he founded and directed the Center for U.S. -Korea Policy and served as The Asia Foundation's representative in Korea (2000-2004). He was also a senior associate at Pacific Forum CSIS. Mr. Snyder has worked as an Asia specialist in the research and studies program of the U.S. Institute of Peace and as acting director of Asia Society's contemporary affairs program." The ordeal of negotiating with North Koreans during the Cold War has left the impression of a crazy and bizarre diplomacy, of negotiators who insult and provoke their Western counterparts while fabricating crises and fomenting discord. As "Negotiating on the Edge" reveals, however, there is not only a method to this madness but also an ongoing shift toward a less provocative negotiating style. Drawing on interviews with an eminent cast of U.S. officials and marshaling extensive research on North Korea past and present, Scott Snyder traces the historical and cultural roots of North Korea's negotiating behavior and exposes the full range of tactics in its diplomatic arsenal. He explains why North Koreans behave as they do, and he argues that there is, in fact, an internal logic to what often seems to be outrageous conduct. Finally, Snyder explores how economic desperation and the end of the Cold War have forced North Korea to modify its negotiating style and objectives. Focusing on the U.S. negotiating experience with North Korea in the 1990s, Snyder also deals comparatively with recent South Korean and multilateral attempts to engage Pyongyang." Very good.
