PhD candidate Tycho van der Hoog wrote a blog about the military ties between African ruling parties and North Korea. His paper identifies three eras in which African political elites benefited from military ties to the DPRK. The blog was written for the Africa and International Studies blog series and is a summary of the paper for which he was awarded the British International Studies Association African Affairs Postgraduate Paper Prize 2021.
