We’ll keep the red flag flying here.” – Kim IL Sung1 Abstract This thesis analyzes how the need for ontological security (OS), the ‘security of being’, impacts the foreign policy decision-making of states. Traditional security studies focus primarily on physical threats to the state. By contrast, an OS framework argues individuals feel secure when they are able to maintain communal narrative. This narrative in turn becomes the lens through which policymakers, and thus states, analyze events, while also becoming a potential source of conflict if challenged. Therefore, while physical security is still important, one is better positioned to account for perceptions of physical (and non physical) threats, and subsequent policies seemingly contradictory to traditional security studies, by employing an OS framework. While this will be explored within the context of the DPRK, the applicability of such a framework is far greater, holding key insights for International Relations and Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). DPRK narrative formed out of the postcolonial nationalism of Japanese occupation, culminating into the hyper-nationalist ideology of Juche. North Korea’s seemingly ‘abnormal’ behavior might in turn be indicative of its unique national narrative and history of colonization and humiliation, leading to a different set of behavioral expectations than states whose narratives do not encompass such stories or reference points. While not all states are expected to act in the same manner as North Korea, the framework would expect them to defend and promote their respective national narratives. Moreover, while narratives can double as sources of legitimacy, as seen increasingly in the DPRK, this in no way detracts from, and merely compounds, the emphasis on narrative maintenance. Examining the historical record, it is argued the OS framework is consistently better at accounting for DPRK policies than traditional security studies. Therefore, more broadly in FPA, by taking seriously group narrative as a key component of OS, one can better account for perceptions and foreign policy decision-making. 1 Kim Il Sung, “On Improving and Strengthening the Work of Commodity Circulation (Speech Delivered at a National Conference of Activists in Trade, February 14, 1957)” in Kim Il Sung Selected Works Vol. II (Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, 1975) 4 Chapter 1 Introduction The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) provides an exceptionally interesting case study for scholars and practitioners of International Relations (IR). In addition to its topical relevance, with Pyongyang continuing to grip headlines through its bellicose rhetoric and nuclear and ballistic missile tests, the country also poses a thought-provoking theoretical question of how best to account for state behavior. Scholars and policymakers working on North Korea are almost uniform in their assessment that the regime is not ‘crazy’ or ‘irrational’, as is often portrayed in the media. At the same time, they have struggled to craft a holistic account of DPRK behavior. This is largely a result of mischaracterizations of the regime and problematized approaches to understanding Pyongyang’s perceptions and interests, all of which, it is argued, require a closer examination of DPRK identity. While recent shifts in analysis have made great strides towards this end, important gaps remain; in particular why and how does identity influence foreign policy in the DPRK, or, for that matter, states in general? Part of the problem is that the larger frameworks of IR theory within which works on the DPRK operate, suffer from similar shortcomings. 1. North Korea & International Security Theory: A Cursory Intro Analogous to the works on North Korea explored below, there has been a historical emphasis in IR on factors that, by themselves, leave significant gaps in our understanding of state behavior. While more recent works have sought to incorporate ideational factors into the analytical picture, much remains to be done in exposing how and why they are important. Indeed, since the acceleration of constructivism, and calls by Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) to further examine perception, identity has taken a more central role. Yet despite this newfound enthusiasm, criticisms abound, in part due to the under-conceptualized relationship between identity and interests, usually addressed through offhanded references to how identity constitutes interests.2 Recent work on ontological security (OS) is therefore of great interest due to its reconceptualization of this relationship to one where states have an interest in maintaining identity.3 Building from these works, the thesis seeks to account for previously inexplicable state behavior by crafting an OS framework, strengthening our ability to conduct more robust analysis (Ch. 2 and 3). 2 Bill McSweeney, Security, Identity and Interests: A Sociology of International Relations (Cambridge University Press, 1999); Felix Berenskoetter, “Parameters of a National Biography” European Journal of International Relations, Vol. 20, No. 1 (2014); Felix Berenskoetter, “Identity in International Relations” in R.

  • Cold War Cultures in Korea by Travis Workman
    Cold War Cultures in Korea Instructor: Travis Workman Campuses: U of Minnesota, Ohio State U, and Pennsylvania State U Course website: http://coldwarculturesinkorea.com In this course we will analyze the Cold War (1945-1989) not only as an era in geopolitics, but also as a historical period marked by specific cultural and artistic forms. We focus on the Korean peninsula, looking closely at the literary and film cultures of both South Korea and North Korea. We discuss how the global conflict between U.S.- centered and Soviet-centered societies affected the politics, culture, and geography of Korea between 1945 and 1989, treating the division of Korea as an exemplary case extending from the origins of the Cold War to the present. We span the Cold War divide to compare the culture and politics of the South and the North through various cultural forms, including anti-communist and socialist realist films, biography and autobiography, fiction, and political discourse. We also discuss the legacy of the Cold War in contemporary culture and in the continued existence of two states on the Korean peninsula. The primary purpose is to be able to analyze post-1945 Korean cultures in both their locality and as significant aspects of the global Cold War era. Topics will include the politics of melodrama, cinema and the body, visualizing historical memory, culture under dictatorship, and issues of gender. TEXTS For Korean texts and films, the writer or director’s family name appears first. Please use the family name in your essays and check with me if you are unsure.

    HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL PYONGYANG, KOREA JUCHE 104 (2015) HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY ACTIVITIES OF CHAIRMAN KIM JONG IL Foreign Languages Publishing House Pyongyang, Korea Juche 104 (2015) 1 PREFACE Kim Jong Il, who led the cause of the Juche revolution pioneered by Kim Il Sung along the road resplendent with victory, is the eternal General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Already in the 1960s he started administering unique Songun-based revolutionary leadership, Songun politics, and in the mid-1970s he began to lead the overall affairs of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the Korean People’s Army and the state, thus bringing about a radical turn in all the sectors of the revolution and construction and ushering in a heyday of the era of the WPK under the banner of modelling the whole society on Kimilsungism. After the death of Kim Il Sung in the mid-1990s, he formulated the mode of Songun politics in a comprehensive way. By so doing, he frustrated the ever-more undisguised schemes of the US-led allied imperialist forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK, defended his socialist country reliably and opened a new era of building a thriving socialist country. Cherishing an ennobling sense of obligation to the destiny of his country and fellow people and the future of the Korean revolution, he provided a brilliant solution to the problem of inheriting leadership, the core in accomplishing the revolutionary cause.

Dissertation Advisor: David R. McCann Sunghee Kim Authority and Emotions: Kim Jong Il and Religious Imagination in North Korean Literature Abstract This dissertation explores how Kim Jong Il, the supreme leader of North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; DPRK) from 1994 to 2011, established his legitimacy based on constructs of his late father, Kim Il Sung’s, divine authority at the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on North Korean historical narratives—produced and circulated under Kim Jong Il’s supervision—this study sheds light on the relationships among the idea of divine authority, the functions and purposes of historical narrative, and the people’s emotions expressed in North Korea’s historical writing.

While conceptualizing colonial-era intellectuals, who chose the North over the South after liberation as “inner-migrant” intellectuals within the larger context of the ideologically divided intellectual communities of the Cold War era, I define “inner-migrant” intellectuals as postcolonial socialist intelligentsias. They were at the heart of the state’s decolonization project, which was to shape state policies and sociocultural articulations of national identity.

  • A Recalcitrant Stalinist Anachronism
    THE PEOPLE UNITED: MUSIC FOR NORTH KOREA’S ‘GREAT LEADER’ AND ‘DEAR LEADER’ Keith Howard Senior Lecturer, SOAS, and Director, AHRB Research Centre for Cross-Cultural Music and Dance Performance 1. Introduction 1 2. Ideology and music 3 3. Thinking as one 8 4. Popular music: out with the new? 11 5. Concluding remarks 13 1. Introduction A recalcitrant Stalinist anachronism? This is the common perception of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) beyond its fortified and hermetically sealed borders. North Korea considers the bad image it has abroad as proof of a capitalist attempt to destroy it, and tends to restrict access further still whenever it encounters hostile press reports. Recent international attention has focused, critically, on North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, and this will likely make the regime even more wary of the outside world. Pak Dong Tchoun, North Korea’s representative at UNESCO in Paris, in July 1995 noted how “extremely reticent” his country would remain to open its doors to journalists who “write horrible calumnies about our regime the minute they leave the country. We want journalists who show good will and want to promote friendship between peoples, not subvert our regime and sovereignty. The [Western] mass media must not write articles that are not encouraging”. Negative press, or TV serializations of ‘untruths’—and occasionally interviews with defectors—notably those published by public and private organs within its southern cousin, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), generally induce bellicose threats, as North Korea shouts it will kill the responsible reporters and bomb newspaper buildings.
