Content
All submissions must deal with some aspect of North Korea. Scholarship need not be tedious or pedantic. Authors are encouraged to create stimulating, controversial and enticing pieces.
Style
This is a scholarly journal. Therefore, develop paragraphs fully; use neither contractions nor first or second person pronouns; avoid repetition, jargon, sexist language and awkward syntactical constructions; do use a limited number of succinct headings and subheadings; and underline or italicize when required. Carefully honed, mellifluous prose is as important as substantive content. A good way to achieve these objectives is to show the manuscript to a colleague whose writing you respect. All accepted material is subject to editorial emendation.
Suk Hi Kim is the coordinator of finance and international business at the University of Detroit Mercy. He is the the founding editor of Multinational Business Review and the author of several books about North Korea and finance. He lives in Plymouth, Michigan.
