The North Korean model: Gaps and questions
Abstract North Korea has articulated a comprehensive strategy for economic, political, military, ideological and cultural independence, with sustained high growth ( juche ). Self-reliance, not self-sufficiency, is the stated goal and has been achieved to a high degree, especially in food, machines-tools and energy, in spite of the country having no oil. The political system is highly authoritarian and male-dominated, with special emphasis on the cult of Kim II Sung. The regime is highly secretive and information is unsystematic. There are exceptional methodological problems in evaluating the evidence. Korea is probably the most successful economy in any post-revolutionary society, but the relationship between authoritarian politics (in extreme isolation) and social and economic achievement is obscure. Important lessons can e learnt from the Korean ‘model’ but the problem is how to learn them.
The North Korean Economy: Structure and Development
Integration Effects" is about 36 pages including n tables and 75 footnotes. In fact, a few of the more substantial articles were evidently based on unpublished dissertations: Daniel Sungil Juhn's "The Development of Korean Entrepreneurship" (pp. 113-34) on his dissertation entitled "Entrepreneurship in an Underdeveloped Economy: The Case of Korea, 1890-1940" (George Washington, 1965); Wonmo Dong's on his "Japanese Colonial Policy and Practice in Korea, 1905-1945: A Study in Assimiliation" (Georgetown, 1965) and Frank Baldwin's on "The March First Movement: Korean Challenge and Japanese Response" (Columbia, 1969). As in the dissertation, Dong devotes the first several pages of his article to an Introduction and "Relevant Concepts and Models," in which he largely adopts concepts and models advanced by, among others, Karl W. Deutsch in his Nationalism and Social Communication (Cambridge: The M.I.T. Press, 1953). Dong then generally applies these models to Korea under Japan using statistical and other data mostly compiled by the Japanese Government-General and organs associated with it, or those data retrieved from his dissertation. In this long article, Dong offers an interpretation that appears original:
