Although the Cold War is considered to have terminated in the early 1990s, there is a region where the legacy of the Cold War is still remaining; the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) or North Korea is a country which maintains a unique Communism and isolation policy. While North Korea is trying hard to grasp the initiative over the Korean Peninsula using the nuclear development card, its poorly led economy has fallen into a desperate state; furthermore, it has lost the support of the Soviet Union. North Korea is now considered to be on the eve of collapse. For more than 50 years, reunification of Korea has been an issue desired by both Koreas but one that has never been realized due to totally different ideologies. However, the possible collapse of North Korea has made the possibility of reunification more likely than at any other time in the past. | Maintaining Stability In Northeast Asia Throughout The Reunification Of Korea by Chuji Ando, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
