Abstract
To transcend its initial fragility, fighting for its political survival, and later on the rise of South Korea as the main economic powerhouse on the Korean peninsula, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) had to compromise and redefine its commitment to self-reliance. How to practice independent interdependence now occupies a large part of the DPRK’s international agenda. This has meant navigating an extensive web of sanctions, developing smuggling operations to raise revenues, sending workers abroad to secure remittances, or exporting bespoke DPRK talents.
