Andrei Lankov on North Korean capitalism--with a female face


1) Prof. Andrei Lankov will be speaking Tuesday night at the Royal Asiatic Society. The topic will be "The female face of North Korean capitalism: North Korean gender relations in the post-famine era."

2) Here's the video archive of a roundtable discussion I organized in September 2011. Prof. Lankov was the main speaker, veteran journalist Donald Kirk and Walter Klitz of the Naumann Foundation offered commentary. The topic was: "The Death of Juche? A roundtable discussion about the growth of markets in North Korea."

3) Here's an article I wrote last year about Prof. Lankov. When people want to know my opinion about North Korea, I ask Prof. Lankov.^^


4) Stay tuned. I arranged for Prof. Lankov to be interviewed for a documentary that will be on PBS this fall, probably in September. They also interviewed me. And I also connected the producers of the documentary to Kim Chung-Ho and Lee Hyeon-seo--she wasn't famous yet so she was still available.^^

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

  Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022.  Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .
