Over the Line : North Korea's Negotiating Strategy

Using previously unpublished accounts, Over the Line brings together for the first time the full record of North Korea's negotiations, describes motives and objectives, and assesses negotiating tactics. Chuck Downs draws important conclusions from that nation's manipulation of international talks and cautions policymakers to be alert to the regime's tactics. As a guide to negotiating with North Korea, Over the Line will provide policymakers with important background on how to deal with the rogue regime.

Chuck Downs was associate director of the Asian Studies Program at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C.
