The Champion- ships were unique from many different points of view: it reflected the IWF Executive Board’s bold decision to suspend the nine countries most affected in the reanalysis of the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games’ long-term stored samples. The entailed absence of some of the world’s Tformerly most prominent weightlifters had peculiar impact on the Championships. If you think it resulted in a depressed performance standard and mediocre lifting, you are wrong. No, in most categories lifters were fighting in a level field and the triumph was a product of excellence often just by a narrow margin over the next best. And we even witnessed world records – a scarce occurrence nowadays in the tightly controlled system. In any case, Anaheim opened the door to new nations, new champions and, above all, it was a celebration of clean sport – thus proving our measures and pioneer antidoping policy right. The #iLIFTCLEAN campaign was also very well received. Besides, thanks to the outstanding promotional activity and wide social media response obtained with the help of our host, the USA Weightlifting Federa- tion, and our TV and marketing partner Lagardère Sports, the impact of Anaheim 2017 has been overall successful. In the year of 2018, our International Federation shall keep on focusing on the task assigned to us by the International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board decision last July. The fight on doping has always been high on the IWF’s agenda, but now – more than ever before - it enjoys absolute priority. Our primary mission is to safeguard the integrity of weightlifting by assuring that the athletes competing are clean – the world over. In this context, we have also concrete projects ahead: the Olympic Qualification System for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, as per the parameters specified by the IOC and at the same time ensuring transparency and a water-tight anti-doping shield to protect both the clean athletes and the sport’s Olympic prestige. The other one – also to be looked at in complexity – is the currently ongoing complete review of the bodyweight categories. 2 / WORLD WEIGHTLIFTING A number of IOC Members were our guests at Anaheim 2017, among them USOC President Mr. Larry Probst who met with IWF Executive Board members and staff t is well known that we have set up two special commissions: the Clean Sport Commission and the Sport Programme Commission – both including renowned experts from outside the weight- lifting society and both very closely cooperating with the IWF Secretariat. At the same time, we continue the dialogue and consultations with the relevant Departments Iand Directors of the International Olympic Committee, as well as with the ASOIF. The IWF General Secretary, Mr. Mohammed Jalood and Director General, Mr. Attila Ádámfi have recently concluded fruitful meetings with the IOC. Parallel, the two Commissions’ activity is now being continued as it has proved immensely useful and gratifying. The recommendations and the anti-doping project submitted by the IWF Executive Board to the IOC last December have been accepted and now remain to be implemented – a process that has already started. In the coming weeks there will be several important gatherings at top level in the IWF. First, we shall have a coordination meeting between the Continental Federations’ Presidents and General Secreta- ries, and the IWF leaders in Astana, Kazakhstan. At the end of March we go to Colorado Springs for an Executive Board meeting enjoying the hospitality of the USA Olympic Committee and the USA Weightlifting Federation. However, the fate of weightlifting is not (only) decided around the meeting tables: the IWF calendar is full and athletes all over the world regularly mount the competition platform to face a wide range of challenges in 2018. We must give special highlight to the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in October and the Continental Qualification Events to decide about the former’s participating fields. The climax for the seniors is the IWF World Championships to be held in November and real- located from Peru to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. The Juniors will meet in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and the University World Championships are going to be hosted by Poland in September. In addition to these IWF events, 2018 is a year of “Games” all of which keep weightlifting on their programme. To give you a non-exhaustive list: the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia; the South-American Games in Cochabamba, Bolivia; the Mediterranean Games in Tarragona, Spain; or the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia. All the way, however, we shall not lose focus on our chief target: to pursue our ambitious anti-doping program satisfying the IOC with its pertinence and effectivity, while answering the challenge of elaborating and implementing new bodyweight categories – two times 10, as already decided – and select those 2x7 that will be con- tested at Tokyo2020. Our Agenda for 2018 is complete: please help us with your support to be able to report in next The IWF President opening the 2017 Anaheim January that we have managed to safeguard the World Championships integrity of weightlifting and protect those lifting clean.

Examining Committee: Steve H. Lee, History Supervisor Donald L. Baker, Asian Studies Supervisory Committee Member William French, History Supervisory Committee Member Max Cameron, Political Science University Examiner Glen Peterson, History University Examiner Andre Schmid, East Asian Studies, University of Toronto External Examiner iii Abstract In the 1960s the North Korean leadership embraced the variety of radical Third Worldism associated with Cuba’s Tricontinental Conference of 1966, which advocated a militant, united front strategy to defeat US imperialism via armed struggle across the Global South. This political realignment led to exceptionally intimate political, economic, and cultural cooperation with Cuba and a programme to support armed revolutionary movements throughout Latin America. In the process, North Korea acquired a new degree of prestige with the international left, influencing Cuban and Latin American left-wing discourse on matters of economic development, revolutionary organization and strategy, democracy and leadership.
