  • Kim Sol-Song
    Kim Sol-song Arguably Kim Jong-il's favorite child, Kim Sol-song was the first grandchild acknowledged and, in conforming with tradition, named by Kim Il-sung. She was born around 1974. Unlike her half- and step-siblings she was educated domestically in the DPRK, including attending Kim Il-sung University She speaks several languages (including English and Russian) and is conversant in foreign policy, economics and literature. Kim Sol-song worked in her late grandfather's Presidential Office and the KWP Propaganda and Agitation Department. Since the late 1990's, she has been employed in Kim Jong-il's Personal Secretariat where she holds a Department Director's position, presiding over Office #99 which is said to manage some of General-Secretary Kim's financial accounts and as well as technology (computers and software) acquisition. Kim Sol-song has escorted her father on his guidance and inspection tours, as his aide. She has also served as her father's interpreter in meetings with foreign heads of state, and traveled to Russia with him in 2002. Kim Sol-song is highly valued as an adviser and aide to General-Secretary Kim. According to a couple of reports, she was reported as wearing a KPA Lieutenant Colonel's uniform on guidance tours and may hold an unofficial rank in the Guard Command, over which she is likely tasked with some administrative oversight. With Kim Ok, she shares responsibility for managing Kim Jong-il's calendar, travel schedule and security arrangements. Unlike Kim Ok, Kim Sol- song has political and policy credibility and should be viewed as highly influential in decisions affecting succession and contingency planning.

ABSTRACT This study attempts to explain why ALL of South Korean presidents, without exception and notwithstanding their individual major contributions to the process of Korea’s development, have fallen victim to disgraceful downfalls. For the analysis, I employ S.N. Sangmpam’s middle-range theory that establishes a causal link between society-rooted politics and political outcomes. Building on his analytical frameworks that non-Western countries are characterized by over-politicization in politics as a function of social context, I argue that patterned downfalls of all Korean presidents are an institutional outcome of over-politicization in Korean politics, which is itself a function of not fully entrenched capitalist society. In support of my thesis, I test three hypotheses. Hypotheses one and two posit Korea’s tenacious traditional and cultural traits as an internal modifier of capitalism and the nation’s dependent nature of its relationships with the United States and Japan as an external factor that prevented capitalist entrenchment in Korean society.

  • Prospects on Characteristics of the North Korean Succession System and Its Foreign Policy in the Post-Kim Jong Il Era Seung Joo Baek*
    The Korean Journal of Defense Analysis Vol. 20, No. 3, September 2008, 215Á230 Prospects on characteristics of the North Korean succession system and its foreign policy in the Post-Kim Jong Il era Seung Joo Baek* Korea Institute for Defense Analyses (KIDA), Seoul, Korea The succession issue that arises under North Korea’s Kim Jong Il (Kim Cho’ng-il) system may be handled with Kim Jong Il taking the lead in making the preparations or it could proceed without regard to Kim Jong Il’s intention. However, if a sudden change takes place in the North Korean system, including Chairman Kim Jong Il’s fall from power, with Kim Jong Il failing to make proper preparations for the succession, the forces that are capable of seizing control of the situation, based on the ‘‘partyÁ governmentÁmilitary’’ structure of dynamics established at the time of the sudden change, will come to power. Considering the process of the Kim Il SungÁKim Jong Il succession, there is a possibility of the power succession taking place, either substantially or institutionally, while Kim Jong Il is alive or after he is dead. A survey of specialists on this issue in the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses (KIDA) on the types of succession showed the following forecasts: (1) 43.5 percent predicted a high possibility of the emergence of a ‘‘type of collective leadership after Kim Jong Il’s death by natural causes.’’ (2) 36.4 percent saw a high possibility of succession by the second son, Kim Cho’ng-ch’o’l. (3) North Korea’s succession outcome, regardless of the type, is expected to place greater importance on the United States than on China.
