Summary/Abstract |
The North Korean government has long been suspected of involvement in state-sponsored drug production and trafficking. Research in this field is hampered by the secrecy of the DPRK regime and the dearth of reliable sources. Nonetheless, using Chinese- and English-language sources, Peng Wang and Stephan Blancke look at developments over the past decade, intensified counter-narcotics co-operation between the Chinese and South Korean police forces, and the failure of the North Korean government to control private involvement in the illicit drug business, which has had an unexpected outcome: a crystal-meth epidemic. These trends expose a severe threat to Northeast Asia and the wider international community.

Summary/Abstract |
The North Korean intelligence structures still seem to be an enigma to Western intelligence analysts. Only a few incidents are reported in the media; these are mostly connected to criminal activity and are sometimes based on dubious assumptions. A rather disregarded field of North Korean intelligence is what I call "sub-intelligence." This parameter includes information brokerage, business intelligence, "front" companies, hackers, organized crime, ethnic communities, and so on. It is a global network of intelligence-related subjects that are used by the North Korean government and its huge intelligence bureaucracy. They often occupy simultaneous multiple positions in the security and civilian sectors, which complicates their tracing by Western intelligence.
