1 North Korean Government and Foreign Policy Summer 2015 Professor Seok-soo Lee Department of International Relations Research Institute for National Security Affairs (RINSA) Korea National Defense University Tel: , 2156, I. Course Description This course is designed to enable students to better understand North Korean politics and foreign policy. Toward such ends, students will acquire knowledge about (1) Historical development of North Korean politics under Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il regime (2) Kim Jong Il s death and power succession to Kim Jong Un; (3) North Korea s foreign relations with major powers; and (4) prospects for the future of North Korea. Understanding North Korea is critical for students of international relations with a focus on East Asia and the Korean Peninsula. It became more so due to Kim Jong Il s sudden death in December While the course is going to cover the rise to power of Kim Il Sung and his son and 3 rd hereditary power transition to Kim Jong Un, we will also analyze the inter-korean relations and North Korea s foreign relations with key regional powers such as the United States, China, Japan and Russia. Given the reclusive nature of North Korea, however, discerning change is always a challenge. It is hoped that students who take this class will be able to have a better grasp of the nature of the North Korean regime, its foreign policy, and contrasting future scenarios. The course is mainly divided into three parts. The first part put focus on the politics of North Korea. The Japanese colonial period is first traced to have background knowledge of state-build up and power struggle in North Korea since National Liberation in Against this backdrop, this class overviews historical evolution of Kim Il Sung s power consolidation, Kim Jong Il s politics and the political succession of Kim Jong Un. In doing so, consolidation of political leadership, control over power elites and society and political institutions and ideology are closely examined. 1
2 The second part of the class is devoted to North Korea s foreign policy. Diplomacy has played an important role for political regime resilience and economic survival. It seems that North Korea attempts to achieve core national interests by nuclear diplomacy. The second part consists of overview of North Korea s foreign policy, investigation into the five pairs of bilateral relations (inter-korean, North Korea-the United States, China, Japan, Russia), and in-dept analysis of North Korea s nuclear diplomacy. Last part of the class is preoccupied with forecasting politics and foreign policy of North Korea in the future. The part discusses expected policies and the political stability of the Kim Jong-un regime as a starting point of forecasting. II. Grading and Assignments Students are strongly urged to read the required reading materials before class.
