Most of the time, it is ignored. When it is not, the response is usually annoyance, anger, or alarm, depending on the action it has taken. Yet, even then, it is clear that the outside world does not know just whom it is dealing with or exactly what is going on there. The descriptions are vague, consist more of rumor than hard fact, and sadly enough, reflect North Korean propaganda by referring only to one per- son as if there were no one else there. Yet, North Korea is a big coun- try—it has a relatively large population—and while its positive contri- bution to the international community is hardly worth mentioning, its negative potential cannot be overlooked. It is therefore useful to know a bit more about the DPRK than can be found in the press or on TV: First, it’s useful to know about a few people who either still exercise or once exercised important functions; then, about a few places, cities, provinces, rivers, and mountains to make North Korea seem more real; then, about its political system and economy; then, about its ideology (Juche), which covers every aspect of life; and finally, about the history of the past half century, which contains more twists and turns than one would expect and may just give us a clue to where the country will head next. The Historical Dictionary of North Korea pro- vides all of this information, although inevitably more sparsely than such information is presented for most other countries. Sparse or not, however, this information is all the more precious given the prevailing lack of knowledge. It was not easy to find an author for this volume, so it was very for- tunate that Ilpyong J. Kim took on the task. One of the foremost North Korea watchers, he is also familiar with neighboring South Korea and China and a specialist on communist regimes. He has written numerous vii viii • EDITOR’S FOREWORD books, chapters, and articles, including the early Communist Politics in North Korea (1975) and the more recent Two Koreas in Transition: Im- plications for U.S. Policy (1998). He is currently professor emeritus of political science at the University of Connecticut and has taught in South Korea and Japan as well. This historical dictionary is the fruit of decades of effort to help us know more about the least-known country on Earth. Jon Woronoff Series Editor Preface This book provides the most up-to-date and most comprehensive his- tory of North Korea. It covers more than a half century of the political, economic, and social development of the Democratic People’s Repub- lic of Korea (DPRK), or North Korea, from its founding on September 9, 1948, to the most recent changes in its political, economic, and social structures when North Korea elected the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA), which adopted the new socialist constitution on September 5, 1998, and elevated Kim Jong Il to succeed his father Kim Il Sung on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK on September 9, 1998. Many subsequent developments between 1998 and 2001 have been added to this volume, such as the Sunshine Policy, the reconciliation of North and South Korea, and the summit meeting between the North Ko- rean leader Kim Jong Il and President Kim Dae-Jung of South Korea in June 2000. The writing and editing of this book took several years due largely to the constantly changing events in North Korea in the early 1990s after the death of Kim Il Sung in July 1994, which was followed by a three-year mourning period. Then, the succession of Kim Jong Il as general secretary of the Korean Workers’ Party (KWP) in October 8, 1997, was uncertain and fraught with problems, but was eventually completed on September 5, 1998, when he was officially installed as the chairman of the National Defense Commission, which has become the most powerful position in North Korea under the new socialist consti- tution. Because of the changes in the political, economic, and social structure, many entries in this dictionary had to be updated or changed as the events unfolded. Some of the sections in this book were rewrit- ten because of changes in the government structure under the new so- cialist constitution of September 5, 1998.

  • Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea
    ABSTRACT Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea South Korean churches eagerness for spreading the gospel to North Koreans is a passion. However, because of the barriers between the two Koreas, spreading the Good News is nearly impossible. In the middle of the 1990’s, numerous North Koreans defected to China to avoid starvation. Many South Korean missionaries met North Koreans directly and offered the gospel along with necessities for survival in China. Since the early of 2000’s, many Talbukmin have entered South Korea so South Korean churches have directly met North Koreans and spread the gospel. However, the fruits of evangelism are few. South Korean churches find that Talbukmin are very different from South Koreans in large part due to the sixty-year division. South Korean churches do not know or fully understand the characteristics of the Talbukmin. The evangelism strategies and ministry programs of South Korean churches, which are designed for South Koreans, do not adapt well to serve the Talbukmin. This research lists and describes the following five theories to be used in the development of the effective evangelistic strategies for use with the Talbukmin and for use to interpret the interviews and questionnaires: the conversion theory, the contextualization theory, the homogenous principle, the worldview transformation theory, and the Nevius Mission Plan. In the following research exploration of the evangelization of Talbukmin in South Korea occurs through two major research agendas. The first agenda is concerned with the study of the characteristics of Talbukmin to be used for the evangelists’ understanding of the depth of differences.

  • Surviving Through the Post-Cold War Era: the Evolution of Foreign Policy in North Korea
    UC Berkeley Berkeley Undergraduate Journal Title Surviving Through The Post-Cold War Era: The Evolution of Foreign Policy In North Korea Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4nj1x91n Journal Berkeley Undergraduate Journal, 21(2) ISSN 1099-5331 Author Yee, Samuel Publication Date 2008 DOI 10.5070/B3212007665 Peer reviewed|Undergraduate eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Introduction “When the establishment of ‘diplomatic relations’ with south Korea by the Soviet Union is viewed from another angle, no matter what their subjective intentions may be, it, in the final analysis, cannot be construed otherwise than openly joining the United States in its basic strategy aimed at freezing the division of Korea into ‘two Koreas,’ isolating us internationally and guiding us to ‘opening’ and thus overthrowing the socialist system in our country [….] However, our people will march forward, full of confidence in victory, without vacillation in any wind, under the unfurled banner of the Juche1 idea and defend their socialist position as an impregnable fortress.” 2 The Rodong Sinmun article quoted above was published in October 5, 1990, and was written as a response to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union, a critical ally for the North Korean regime, and South Korea, its archrival. The North Korean government’s main reactions to the changes taking place in the international environment during this time are illustrated clearly in this passage: fear of increased isolation, apprehension of external threats, and resistance to reform. The transformation of the international situation between the years of 1989 and 1992 presented a daunting challenge for the already struggling North Korean government.

  • Confidence And/Or Control? Seeking a New Relationship Between North
    Hans-Joachim Schmidt Confidence and/or Control? Seeking a new relationship between North and South Korea PRIF Reports No. 62 ã Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2002 Correspondence to: HSFK Leimenrode 29 60322 Frankfurt am Main Germany Telephone: +49 (0)69/95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69/55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http:/www.hsfk.de Translation: Katharine Hughes MA, Oxford ISBN: 3-933293-64-2 € 10,– Summary The final curtain has not yet fallen on the East-West conflict in the Korean peninsula. The heavily armed forces of North and South Korea are still at a stand-off, with almost two million soldiers, supported by 37,000 US troops on the South Korean side. Since the end of the Korean War in 1953, which led to the partition of Korea, both countries find themselves technically still at war. So far, there has merely been a cease-fire in force. While South Korea has since developed into a stable democracy and one of the most economically advanced nations in Asia, the Stalinist rule in the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is threatening to disintegrate. The economic situation there deteriorated drastically during the 1990s due to economic mismanagement and a number of natural disasters. Despite this worsening economic plight, North Korea possesses the world’s fifth largest army, with almost 1.2 million soldiers, and spends 25-33 % of its GNP on military defence (South Korea spends approx. 3 %). This fuels the fear that the Communist regime in the DPRK could very soon collapse.

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.

  • Beetles Attack! an Imported Leaf-Eating Bug Is Chewing up the Scenery from Moab to Salt Lake City
    Wednesday, March 11,2009 Beetles Attack! An imported leaf-eating bug is chewing up the scenery from Moab to Salt Lake City. By Stephen Dark When University of Utah biologist Kevin Hultine went down to where the Colorado River meets the Dolores at Dewey Bridge, just outside Moab, one afternoon in June 2006, he was shocked. Along the Colorado River, the dense, green thickets of tamarisk plants he had seen just a week before had turned brown. At first, he thought a local pest was killing them. “I had no idea it was something that was introduced,” Hultine says. The culprit, he learned, was a strain of beetle that federal scientists imported from Kazakhstan, a central-Asian country once part of the Soviet Union. They’d been released by Grand County’s weed-management department chief Tim Higgs. Tamarisk is an exotic invasive plant that has undeniably changed the landscape of the Southwestern United States. “It’s the principle invasive species that has caused damage to the health of the river system in the West,” says Tim Carlson, head of the Tamarisk Coalition, a Grand Junction, Colo.-based nonprofit dedicated to restoring native plant communities to riverbanks and flood plains.
