Privileged but Powerless: How North Korean Elite Grievances Reveal the Regime's Greatest Weakness
English | 2026 | ISBN: 0300272286 | 201 pages | True EPUB | 16.98 MB
A compelling examination of North Korea's elites, their hidden discontent, and the role they may play in shaping the regime's future
Jieun Baek's second book on North Korea is a deeply researched and sharply analytical account of the grievances harbored by the country's elite. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with escapees from Pyongyang, Baek examines how members of this privileged class, granted access to forbidden information and superior material benefits, publicly uphold the regime despite their underlying discontent. She argues that this performative loyalty, born of fear and a desire to survive, masks a critical vulnerability within the regime's core.
Grounded in firsthand testimony and enriched by insights from a global network of academics, intelligence analysts, human rights practitioners, and policymakers, Baek's account challenges the prevailing view of North Korea's elites as uniformly loyal actors. Instead, she reveals a complex and precarious reality faced by those closest to power.
This book sheds new light on how elite grievances may shape the trajectory of the regime's stability and security. Baek offers a provocative argument: that those who seem most invested in preserving North Korea's status quo may become its most dangerous disruptors, not for ideological reasons but because of simmering resentment and vanishing alternatives.
