    KOREA IN KIM JONG UN’S ERA Foreign Languages Publishing House DPR Korea Juche 108 (2019) PREFACE Entering the 2010s, Korea still had to endure trials and hardships because of the death of Chairman Kim Jong Il and the ever-increasing political, economical and military pressure imposed by the hostile forces. However, it has dynamically advanced without frustration and retreat only along the road of socialism it chose itself, braving all hardships, and it is now making leaps and bounds at a maximum speed towards the realization of the people’s ideals. What is behind these leaps and bounds? What does Korea today under the global eye rely on for its existence and under what banner does it advance and develop? The Editorial Board publishes the book Korea in Kim Jong Un’s Era, hoping it will help those people with such questions. 1 CONTENTS 1. ENJOYING TRUST OF THE PEOPLE ………………………… 3 2.

  • Chapter 4 the Korean Peninsula: “Nuclear Weapons State” North Korea Aiming to Become an Economic Power, ROK Seeking Active Deterrence Capability
    Chapter 4 The Korean Peninsula: “Nuclear Weapons State” North Korea Aiming to Become an Economic Power, ROK Seeking Active Deterrence Capability n the year since the death of Chairman of the National Defense Commission IKim Jong Il, North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK) has taken steps to bolster the Kim Jong Un regime and Park Geun-hye of the conservative Saenuri Party has been elected as the next president of the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea). There has been no easing of North- South confrontation, and the problems posed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile program grow more serious, so the security situation in the region remains as challenging as ever. In February 2012, the United States and North Korea had direct dialogue more than three years after the Six-Party Talks were suspended. This was followed by announcement of an agreement between the two countries (the so-called Leap Day Agreement). The agreement was effectively scuttled, however, when the new North Korean constitution drawn up under Kim Jong Un described the country as a nuclear weapons state and North Korea launched a missile under the guise of putting an earth observation satellite into orbit with an Unha 3 rocket on April 13. This missile launch was a failure, but North Korea proceeded to launch another missile on December 12, 2012, demonstrating improvements in the technology relating to flight stability and flight accuracy. On February 12, 2013, the country conducted its third nuclear test, driving home its claim to be a nuclear weapons state.

Korean Studies, 34. 25 - 53 (28). White Rose Research Online [email protected] Nationalism and Ethnic Identity in the Sino-Korean Border Region of Yanbian, 1945–1950 Adam Cathcart This article chronicles the evolution of ethnic politics in the Yanbian region, focus- ing on the Chinese Korean communist leader Chu To˘k-hae during the Chinese civil war and the early Korean War. Chu’s advocacy of Chinese nationality for ethnic Koreans is juxtaposed with his cooperation with North Korea, conflict over North Korean refugees, and examinations of the Yanbian region’s role between the People’s Republic of China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The ‘‘Resist America and Aid Korea’’ movement provides the most dramatic example of how Chu and ethnic Koreans in Yanbian expressed a uniquely tinged Chinese nationalism while continuing to lend support to North Korea. The article thereby aims to contribute to the regional history of Northeast Asia, add texture to debates on Chinese and Korean nationalism in that region, and reveal new aspects of Chinese Korean agency in the earliest years of Chinese Communist Party control. In the immense outpouring of scholarship that examines the Korean experience from 1945 to 1950, the role of Chinese Koreans, or Choso˘njok, in Yanbian during those years has received relatively little attention.

  • Current Affairs in North Korea, 2010-2017: a Collection of Research Notes
    235 Current Affairs in North Korea, 2010-2017: A Collection of Research Notes Rudiger Frank Abstract Starting with the public introduction of Kim Jong-un to the public in autumn of 2010 and ending with observations of consumerism in February 2017, this collection of 16 short research notes that were originally published at 38North discusses some of the most crucial issues, aside from the nuclear problem, that dominated the field of North Korean Studies in the past decade. Left in their original form, these short articles show the consistency of major North Korean policies as much as the development of our understanding of the new leader and his approach. Topics covered include the question of succession, economic statistics, new ideological trends such as pyŏngjin, techno- logical developments including a review of the North Korean tablet computer Samjiyŏn, the Korean unification issue, special economic zones, foreign trade, parliamentary elections and the first ever Party congress since 1980.
