For over five decades, North Korea has outlived many forecasts of
collapse despite defects in its system. Origins of North Korea's
Juche: Colonialism, War, and Development, edited by Jae-Jung Suh,
argues that it has survived because of Juche, a unique political
institution built on the simple notion of self-determination, whose
meanings and limits have been shaped by Koreans' experiences with
colonialism, war, and development amidst surrounding superpowers
that have complicated their aspirations and plans. The authors in
this volume collectively provide an historical institutionalist
account of North Korean politics organized around the concept of
Juche-commonly translated as self-reliance, but best understood as
subjecthood or being a master of one's own fate-focusing on its
role as a response to North Korea's experiences with colonialism,
the Korean War, and economic development. The contributors further
discuss how Juche circumscribes the evolutionary path that North
Koreans can take as they negotiate contemporary challenges. North
Korea, as it is now, is best understood in terms of Juche which
embodies the cumulative effect of its historical experiences and
responses, and its future potential and trajectory, as enabled and
constrained by its conception of Juche. This collection provides
fascinating insights into the politics and history of one of the
world's most mysterious nations.
