Why does North Korea want to possess nuclear capabilities? In order
to find the answer to this question, we must have an accurate
understanding of the history and structure of the North Korean
regime. So far, we have only formed conjectures and predictions
regarding North Korea based on our own perspectives; we now need to
deal with and consider North Korea "as is" to reach viable
solutions to the issues North Korea presents. This volume contains
analyses of the most salient, critical issues pertinent to
understanding the North Korean regime, penned by representative
Korean scholars of North Korea. As such, the book examines the
historical formation of North Korea, the identities of those power
elite, and the relative stability (or instability, as the case may
be) of the new regime under Kim Jong-un. Also an important aspect
to consider is the possibility of socio-economic change in North
Korea. Though North Korea has remained relatively static vis-a-vis
its political and military systems, it is in the process of
becoming rapidly marketized, having continued various attempts to
modify its economic policy. In the social realm, said economic
shift has elicited the polarization of the disparate classes and
the expansion of individualism. Such social transformations,
obscured by the easily visible political reality of North Korea,
can provide solid grounds for determining the future of the North
Korea regime. Moreover, it is imperative that we accurately
understand the motivation behind North Korea's intention to develop
nuclear weapons-namely, the expansion of deterrence. We must
recognize the reasons for the North Korean hostility toward the
United States from the very beginning of the DPRK formation and the
North Korean fixation on nuclear weapons development. Further, we
need to understand the nature of relations between China and North
Korea-relations on which the international community has focused
since North Korea began its nuclear testing-as well as the history
and structure of relations between North and South Korea. Only when
we accurately understand North Korea can we reach solutions to the
North Korean nuclear issue. The studies in this volume by Korean
scholars will reveal the veiled background of the visible phenomena
and thereby help the readers to correctly understand the North
Korean behaviors hitherto misunderstood (or even those that were
impossible to understand).
