Summary/Abstract |
Purpose-This article describes and analyzes the DPRK's cultural diplomacy during the early months of Kim Jong-un's reign.
Methodology-We analyze the recent practice of North Korea's cultural diplomacy, using two case studies: the KCNA-Associated Press photo exhibition in New York, and the tour of the Unhasu Orchestra to Paris.
Findings-Both initiatives coincided with the first months of Kim Jong-un's reign, and can provide an alternate perspective on both North Korean foreign policy and the wider debate about how to best engage the DPRK.
Originality/value-The article thus adds to the literature on North Korean foreign relations as well as cultural diplomacy more generally.
