Academic career

Rüdiger Frank wwwruedigerfrankcom News 2015

Born and raised in East Germany and the Soviet Union, and having spent one semester as a language student at Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang in 1991/1992, Frank is one of very few experts on North Korea who have lived in and experienced German, Soviet and North Korean socialist systems for a substantial period of time. He uses his equally rare combined background in Economics, Korean Studies and International Relations to analyze and comment on a wide range of economic and security issues in East Asia and North Korea from various perspectives. In 2014, his unique insights into North Korea culminated in the book "Nordkorea. Innenansichten eines totalen Staates".
