Prince Anpyeong was put in charge of this latter project along with the crown prince King Sejong did not leave shi poetry (Chinese classical poetry) although he wrote (or Munjong) and Prince Jinyang (or Prince Suyang). In 1447, the Dongguk Korean-language poems. The first volume of theSejo sillok includes one piece of the jeongun was completed, and in the following year it was published in six “Mongjungjak” (Writing in a Dream 夢中作) and it is also included in the “Sejong volumes. The Konkuk University Library preserves the entire Volumes and eoje” 世宗御製 of the Yeolseong eoje 列聖御製, but I regard this piece as a forgery. the Gansong Art Museum has Volumes one and six. Around that time the King Sejong read the Ou Su shoujian (Letters between Ouyang Xiu and Samun tonggo was completed by an unknown person. Su Shi 歐蘇手簡) thoroughly (Sim 2016a), but he did not study how to write In the seventh month of 1448 (30th year of Sejong’s reign), Sejong wanted shi poetry and hence he did not write and leave shi poetry actively through his to establish a Buddhist shrine in the vicinity of the palace for Queen Soheon entire life.

  • North Korea, Apparel Production Networks and UN Sanctions: Resilience Through Informality
    Journal of the Economic Geographical Society of Korea Vol.23, No.4, 2020 (373-394) North Korea, Apparel Production Networks and UN Sanctions: Resilience through Informality Jong-Woon Lee*⋅Kevin Gray** 북한 의류 생산네트워크와 UN 제재 이종운*⋅케빈 그레이** Abstract: The strengthening of multilateral international sanctions against North Korea has raised questions as to how effective they are in exerting pressure on the country’s economy. In this paper, we address this question by examining their impact on the country’s integration into regional and global apparel production networks. North Korea has in the past decade become an increasingly competitive exporter of apparel on the basis of consignment-based processing arrangements. Official trade data shows a sharp drop in North Korean exports of clothing since the sectoral ban in 2017. There is evidence to suggest, however, that exports have continued on a more informal and clandestine basis. North Korea’s integration into apparel production networks has also taken the form of the dispatch of workers to factories in China’s northeastern border regions. Yet there is evidence that the recent sanctions imposed on such practices has similarly led to illicit practices such as working on visitors’ visas, often with the help of Chinese enterprises and local government. The resilience of North Korea’s integration into apparel production networks follows a capitalist logic and is result of the highly profitable nature of apparel production for all actors concerned and a correspondingly strong desire to evade sanctions. As such, the analysis contributes to the literature on sanctions that suggests that the measures may contribute to emergence of growing informal and illicit practices and to the role of the clandestine economy.

  • Special Economic Zones in the DPRK
    Special Economic Zones in the DPRK This issue brief covers the history and recent upsurge of interest in special economic zones (SEZ) in the DPRK. For over twenty years, North Korea has periodically attempted to bolster its economy through the creation of SEZs, starting with the establishment of the Rason Special Economic Zone in the far northeast of the country in 1991. The two Koreas have also established two joint economic zones in the North, the Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) and the Mount Kumgang Tourist Region (where operations are now suspended). All of North Korea’s SEZs established to date have been enclaves, attracting investment and foreign currency but not spurring greater economic growth in the rest of the country through the establishment of linkages or through a “demonstration effect” leading to more effective economic policies elsewhere. North Korea’s interest in developing SEZs has been sporadic, but several recent developments indicate that SEZs are becoming an increasingly important part of the country’s economic planning. Beginning in 2010, the DPRK renewed attempts to encourage investment and infrastructure developments in Rason, and more recently announced that new SEZs would be established in each province of the country. 1 This issue brief will cover the history of North Korean SEZs and review recent developments in this field. History of SEZs in North Korea Rason: North Korea’s first SEZ, the Rajin-Sonbong Free Economic and Trade Zone (later contracted to the Rason Economic and Trade Zone), was established in 1991, several years after North Korea first introduced laws allowing foreign investment.

    Asian Journal of Peacebuilding Vol. 3 No. 1 (2015): 65-85 doi: 10.18588/201505.000036 Research Article Revisiting Korea’s Northern Limit Line and Proposed Special Zone for Peace and Cooperation Yong Seok Chang This article examines the prospects for the realization of the agreement signed at the 2007 inter-Korean summit to transform the conflict-susceptible Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the West Sea into a border area where South and North Korea jointly promote peace and prosperity. To realize this agreement the two Koreas must integrate new ideas and plans by viewing the NLL as a space of common benefit rather than a line of military confrontation. The establishment of the West Sea Special Zone for Peace and Cooperation focuses on security and economic issues. Implementation of the agreement requires particular attention to development of a comprehensive plan, including promotion of ecological, environmental, historical, and cultural assets, as well as inter-Korean fishery cooperation. Keywords West Sea, Northern Limit Line (NLL), border area, peace settlement, common prosperity, regional cooperation Introduction The Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the West Sea (also called the Yellow Sea) and its surrounding areas has been a symbol of the precarious peace on the Korean Peninsula since the Korean War ended in 1953. Recurrent skirmishes between the naval forces of the two Koreas over the NLL have escalated tensions on the entire Korean Peninsula. The peace and stability of Northeast Asia would come under threat if the United States, an ally of South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea), were to become actively involved in this dispute.

They hoped to receive even a small amount up until July, but are now thoroughly disappointed, as they have not received any food. Residents of this area have agreed that they may not receive rations at all this year. Hwang, Geum-cheol (49) describes residents’ thoughts, “Soldiers are participating in a nationwide campaign for families of military officers to receive two meals a day, and they receive no rations at all. How then can common people even imagine getting rations? Most of my friends agree with me and we have talked about the fact that getting rations is impossible. Before harvesting new crops this fall, people need to do self- sufficiency, so that everyone makes the best possible effort to feed themselves.” As Mr. Hwang’s describes the situation, “the residents of this area have very busy summer seasons and try to secure food in order to solve the food shortage before the harvest of this year. They quit their jobs for companies and enterprises that only mobilize them, and instead do their best to cultivate them land, by planting even one extra head of Korean cabbage or radish.

Mobley: Pueblo—A Retrospective PUEBLO A Retrospective Commander Richard Mobley, U.S. Navy orth Korea’s seizure of the U.S. Navy intelligence-collection—officially, N“environmental research”—ship USS Pueblo (AGER 2) on 23 January 1968 set the stage for a painful year of negotiations. Diplomacy ultimately freed the crew; Pyongyang finally released the men in December 1968. However, in the first days of the crisis—the focus of this article—it was the military that was called upon to respond. Naval power would have played an important role in any immediate attempts to force the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea to re- lease the crew and ship. Failing that, the Seventh Fleet would have been on the forefront of any retaliation. Many works published over the last thirty-three years support this view.1 However, hundreds of formerly classified documents released to the public in the late 1990s offer new insight into many aspects of the crisis.

  • Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination
    Child Labor in the DPRK, Education and Indoctrination UNCRC Alternative Report to the 5th Periodic Report for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) September 2017 Submitted by People for Successful COrean REunification (PSCORE) Table of Contents Summary/Objective 2 Methodology 3 “Free” Education 4 Unchecked and Unmonitored: Physical Abuse in Schools 6 Forced Manual Labor during School 7 Mandatory Collections 8 Ideology and Education 9 Recommendation 12 References 13 1 Summary/Objective The goal of this report is for the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child to strongly consider the DPRK’s deplorable educational system at the 76th Pre-Sessional Working Group. A great number of reprehensible offenses have been committed by the DPRK against children’s education. Falsely advertised “free” education, unchecked corporal punishment and abuse in school, and forced manual labor in place of time in the classroom are the most notable, and will all be detailed in this report. But the most severe injustice is the content of the DPRK’s education, which is all geared to either overtly or covertly instill fear and hate into the minds of the state’s youngest and most impressionable minds. Education in the DPRK is filled with historical distortion and manipulative teachings that serve the state’s rulers, instilling a reverence for the DPRK’s government and leaders and a hatred toward any people or ideas that are not in alignment with the government’s. Education should be truthful and promote the values of peace, tolerance, equality, and understanding (General Comment No. 1, Article 29).

  • Monthly Recap: December
    MONTHLY RECAP: DECEMBER KAESONG INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX On December 1, North Korea began enforcing restrictions on the number of South Koreans allowed to stay in the Kaesong Industrial Complex, limiting ROK workers to only 880, which is 20 percent of the number of South Koreans issued permits, and according to the South Korean Ministry of Unification, only half the number that are in the complex on a normal work day. The North also withdrew permission to bring any South Korean publications into the KIC. Previously, 20 different papers from 9 different publishers had been allowed. Cross-border rail traffic and tourism has also been suspended. As concerns heighten over the future of the project, companies in the complex have reported up to 60 percent decline in sales, and seven companies have pulled out of contracts to set up operations in the KIC. ANTI-DPRK LEAFLETS On December 2, South Korean activists defied the wishes of both the North and South Korean governments and attempted to launch more balloons with leaflets denouncing Kim Jong Il and the North Korean government. The ROK government has taken the stance that as the launches are not illegal, it cannot prevent them, but in light of the damage they have done to inter-Korean relations, it wishes they would desist. On the 2nd, other ROK activists denouncing the fliers tried to physically prevent the balloon launch, causing police to intervene. A large number of the leaflets reportedly dropped in the North’s South Hwanghae Province, causing the DPRK to mobilize the military for clean-up operations.
