Paper Title
Industrialization And Economic Development Of North Korea

Abstract
Marketization and de facto privatization have been accompanied by economic growth in North Korea since the early 2000s. Industrialization progressed in the meantime. The direction of its industrial policy has changed from time to time since the 1990s. Production of certain commodities in heavy industries has increased over the past few decades. Although the North Korean government has emphasized promotion of the defence industry since the late 1990s, heavy industries have generally developed. Exports in general have not played a significant role in industrialization.
