CiNii 図書 - The guerilla dynasty : politics and leadership in North Korea

This text traces the political history of North Korea from World War II to the death of Kim Il Sung. It looks at the development of the Communist Party underground from the early 1920s, the establishment of a ruling oligarchy after the liberation of Korea by the Soviet Union in 1945, and the growth of Kimist personal autocracy from 1958. The role of Soviet patronage in each period is analyzed closely, as is the nature of Korean communism. Buzo explores the influence of traditional Korean political culture and the Korean nationalist movement, and concludes with an assessment of North Korea's difficult position in the 1990s.

Scalapino, Institute of East Asian Studies, University of California, Berkeley 'The scholarship is outstanding. There is no book like this on the market - nor is there likely to be. This book will make a place for itself on the shelf of indispensable reading about North Korea. Adrian Buzo has produced a study that specialists will need to read now, and that students will be reading for years to come.' Nicholas Eberstadt, American Enterprise Institute, Washington The Democratic People's Republic of Korea continues to attract world attention and to generate regional and international tension through its ongoing confrontation with South Korea, its nuclear weapons program, and the collapse of its economy. It continues to confound observers by its obdurate refusal to follow the examples of China and Vietnam in reforming core state policies, despite severe economi
