The journal was established in 2005 by INKS and McFarland & Company. Its stated purpose is to provide an improved understanding of the complexity of North Korea and its threat to global stability. In March 2006, the Library Journal said that it is "the first journal of its kind" and that it "belongs in most university libraries".[1]
