Why does North Korea routinely turn to provocation to achieve foreign policy goals? Are the actions of the volatile Kim regime predictable, based on logical responses to the conditions faced by North Korea? This book, an examination of the "Hermit Kingdom" over the past 50 years, explains why the Democratic People''s Republic of Korea uses hostility and coercion as instruments of foreign policy. Using three case studies and quantitative analysis of more than 2,000 conflict events, the author explores the relationship between North Korea''s societal conditions and its propensity for external conflict. These findings are considered in light of diversionary theory, the idea that leaders use external conflict to divert attention from domestic affairs. Analyzing the actions of an isolated state such as North Korea provides a template for conflict scholarship in general.

Edsel Bronfman je nevýrazný, ostýchavý mladík, který má v životě rád jednoduchý řád. Všechen svůj čas dělí mezi práci řadového referenta a svou matku, jejíž záviděníhodnou bohémskou oduševnělost začíná kvapem střídat stařecká demence. Mívá sice ještě občas světlé chvilky, ale přestává být jasné, kdy jde o výstřelek oduševnělé bohémky a kdy o duševní lapsus staré pomatené notoričky. Pořídila si Edsela s jedním ze svých četných milenců v dobách, kdy se dělala láska, ne válka.K její lítosti syn nezdědil esprit donchuána. Edsel je čistá duše, všechno bere vážně a zgruntu poctivě, žije monotónní život a za vrchol vzrušení považuje zisk propisovačky s logem firmy, která mu až doposud chyběla ve sbírce. Jednoho dne mu ovšem zavolá operátorka číslo 61217 a oznámí mu, že vyhrál víkendový pobyt v luxusním apartmánu na Floridě. Věc má ovšem háček – poukaz je určen výlučně pro dvě osoby a má omezenou platnost.Edsel přistoupí k hledání partnerky pro víkend u moře stejně zodpovědně jako k jakémukoli jinému pracovnímu úkolu. Tíží ho sice obava, že taková věc může převrátit jeho život úplně naruby, ale nakonec v něm převáží touha podívat se na Floridu a zažít vzrušení, o němž všichni tolik básní. Zevrubné přípravy zahrnují členství v posilovně, návštěvu nočního baru, střetnutí s drogovým dealerem, a dokonce i hodinový pobyt ve vězení. A během toho všeho se mu do života připletou tři ženy, do nichž je tak trochu zamilovaný a ony jsou tak nějak zamilované do něj. Jenomže zažít neobyčejná dobrodružství na Floridě může jen s jednou z nich.

The drifter who is mistaken for a movie star, an old woman who sits on the roof of her house to smoke her secret cigarette, a man building a coffin for his wife-the men and women in these stories, hungry for connection, often find that everything hangs on a gust of wind or a single word. Beneath the Moon and Long Dead Stars tenderly navigates the shadows, inviting readers to take comfort. There''s plenty of light left"--
