North Korea’s Economic survival amidst economic sanctions and lack of cooperation from western nations

Title: North Korea’s Economic survival amidst economic sanctions and lack of cooperation from western nations

Introduction: an overview of the topic, and provision of rationale/need to study it—–only one paragraph

Inconsiderate political ideologies from North Korea’s successive autocratic leaders have often sidelined the Nation from cooperation with major Global powers which hold contrary opinions to North Korea’s leaders. These differences have contributed to severe economic sanctions against North Korea, with a significant impact being on the Nation’s labour market leading to the emergence and growth of slave labour and black markets to waddle through the economic sanctions (Jung, 2019). Additionally, the nation has also turned to illicit financial networks among other alternatives to support the nation amidst the economic sanctions placed on it.
