    This paper analyzes the dynamics of international aid to North Korea from 1995 to 2022, focusing on the shifting roles of key donors and evolving aid patterns in response to political developments and development needs. While previous studies have largely centered on OECD DAC donors and South Korea, this study constructs a harmonized dataset from diverse sources—including OECD CRS, UN OCHA-FTS, AidDATA, and South Korean government data—to enable a more comprehensive analysis. It identifies four distinct phases of aid, marked by shifts in donor composition in response to nuclear crises and sanctions. The findings reveal China’s sustained centrality, particularly in energy aid, and highlight Russia’s emergence as a significant donor since 2014. These trends challenge prevailing donor-centric narratives and underscore the necessity of incorporating non-DAC donors into analytical frameworks for a more accurate understanding of North Korea’s aid landscape and its geopolitical implications.
