| Summary/Abstract |
Purpose-This article discusses the development of the Internet in North Korea and the related challenges and opportunities.
Design/methodology/approach-This study gives a comprehensive overview of the development of the Internet in North Korea, starting with a history of the introduction of the Internet in North Korea, and then discusses various applications, challenges and opportunities based on reports and personal observations.
Findings-North Korea can no longer ignore the Internet, neither as a chance to further its intentions, e.g., in cyber warfare, as well as in national self-representation and business, nor as a threat due to the greater availability of knowledge in the country. Its countermeasures to the uncontrolled flow of information result in ever greater surveillance costs, while pushing further back the competitiveness of the country.
Originality/value-While there have been numerous reports on singular aspects of the opening of North Korea to information and communication industries, notably mobile communication, outsourcing, and cyber warfare, there has not yet been a comprehensive study of the issue.

| Summary/Abstract |
The joint determination of the distribution of income, wealth, and political power is a phenomenon that can be observed across countries and economic systems; however, it is far from being the same in every economic system. North Korea is a prime example of this strong connection. Almost nowhere else in the world have economic processes been so thoroughly politicized and dominated by political aims. This paper explores not only the relations between wealth, income, and political power in North Korea, but it also draws some conclusions for foreign aid policies for the impoverished country.
