  • Japanese Disfavor of North Korea Reasons, Implications For
    International Journal of Art & Humanity Science (IJAHS) e-ISSN: 2349-5235, www.ijahs.com Volume 2 Issue 1, (Jan-Feb 2015), PP. 23-29 JAPANESE DISFAVOR OF NORTH KOREA REASONS, IMPLICATIONS FOR THE REGION, AND POTENTIAL STEPS TO MOVE FORWARD David Tian Abstract- The Korean Peninsula is located in close proximity to the Japanese archipelago, and thus relations among Japan, North Korea, and South Korea have serious implications for the security, stability, and economic well-being of the region. The Japanese public holds a nearly universal negative view of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, with approximately 97% of the public expressing an unfavorable view. This paper will explore the plausible causes of Japan’s negative view of North Korea and the implications of such unfavorable ratings for the Asia-Pacific region at large. One major factor contributing to such a universal negative view of North Korea in Japan is the North Korean state-sponsored abductions of Japanese citizens. Accordingly, in this paper, there will be a discussion about these kidnappings of Japanese citizens. Additionally, North Korea has conducted provocative weapons testing, in violation of international law and threatening security in the region and to Japan in particular. Hence, a discussion of North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic weapons will be included as well. The paper will then conclude with what the implications are for the region at large. For the purposes of this assignment, the terms “kidnapping” and “abduction” will be used interchangeably. The names “North Korea,” “DPRK,” and “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” will also be used interchangeably as well, as will “South Korea,” “ROK,” and “The Republic of Korea.

  • Speaking of Socio-Economic and Political Processes in the DPRK Under Kim Jong-Un and Their Influence on Russian-North Korean Communication
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 10, No. 22; 2014 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Speaking of Socio-Economic and Political Processes in the DPRK under Kim Jong-Un and Their Influence on Russian-North Korean Communication Ekaterina Veka1 & Vladimir Pecheritsa1 1 Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russian Federation Correspondence: Ekaterina Veka, Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russian Federation. Tel: 79-1-4321-5632. E-mail: [email protected] Received: July 10, 2014 Accepted: August 8, 2014 Online Published: October 30, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n22p182 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n22p182 Abstract The article analyzes North Korea domestic policy processes, such as socio-economic and political ones, under KIM Jong-un. The article shows that there are no signs of regime transformation which many experts prefer to declare. The survey proves that all processes initiated by KIM Jong-un within the country are neither more nor less than continuity with his predecessors’ policy. At the same time KIM Jong-un protects his hard line in foreign policy, his course appears to be even more severe than his father’s one at times. He is ready to show his will to the USA and even to Beijing. But relations between the DPRK and the Russian Federation are modifying. The last two years are characterized with appearance of the new touch to Russian-north Korean relations-they turn to economics keeping the political relations format. Two countries are seems to have even similar foreign policy concept in the face of common enemy.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a state outside the frame of world politics. North Korea is the poor part of a divided nation, whose Stalinist dictatorship potentially threatens the world community with its nuclear weapons.

  • North Korea Heading for the Abyss
    Bruce Klingner North Korea Heading for the Abyss For some Asian experts, Kim Jong-un’s December 2013 purge of his uncle and e´minence grise, Jang Song-taek, changed everything. Hopes that the young, Western-educated North Korean leader would initiate long-predicted reform were dashed, replaced by rising fears of instability in the nuclear-armed nation. For other analysts, the purge merely affirmed everything that had seemed so obvious since the coronation of Kim petit-fils, namely that he would maintain the policies of his predecessors, though in a more erratic and riskier manner. Regardless of who was right, what are the policy implications going forward? There is now consensus among experts that the Korean Peninsula, always one of the world’s most volatile locales, has become even more dangerous since the December 2011 ascension of Kim Jong-un. Moreover, this perilous situation is occurring amidst rising skepticism of the Obama administration’s commitment to its “Asia pivot” strategy. Despite strong rhetoric, regional allies see declining resources devoted to fulfilling U.S. pledges for their security. South Korean and Japanese officials privately question U.S. resolve after President Obama failed to uphold his August 2012 redline pledge to strike Syria if the regime used chemical weapons against its populace and was unable to prevent Russian annexation of the Crimea. Even prior to sequestration-mandated defense reductions, U.S. military forces were already straining under $480 billion cuts to the defense budget. The Pentagon reports that one in three U.S. Air Force Bruce Klingner is the Senior Research Fellow for Northeast Asia at The Heritage Foundation’s Asian Studies Center.
