North Koreas Foreign Policy

This book analyses North Korean foreign policy since 1994, aiming to better understand the part the DPRK plays in international politics. Pyongyang is the countrys capital and largest city. To the north and northwest, the country is bordered by China and by Russia along the Amnok and Tumen rivers; it is bordered to the south by South Korea, with the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone separating the two. Nevertheless, North Korea, like its southern counterpart, claims to be the legitimate government of the entire peninsula and adjacent islands. Both North Korea and South Korea became members of the UN in 1991.

Applying the role theoretical approach to North Korea for the first time, this book charts the continuities and changes in North Korean foreign policy, drawing on content analysis of North Korean periodicals. It begins with an identification of roles, before analysing the relationship between these roles and foreign policy in practice. In particular, it examines the links between role shifts and changes in interaction with the U.S. and South Korea. This book also demonstrates that the existence of pressure, sanctions and confrontations have contributed to a confrontational, isolationist and inward-looking foreign policy. Therefore, it argues, one should be aware that if the DPRK is constantly treated as if it is a nuclear state and even a rogue state it is much easier for it to enact a role on the international stage which reflects this.

As a study of the foreign policy of the worlds most controversial and secretive country, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Korean politics and international relations, as well as Asian Studies more generally.

Lenka Caisova is research fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of West Bohemia, Czech Republic. Her research interests include North Korean politics and foreign relations.

I would like to acknowledge the whole Department of Politics and International Relations of The University of West Bohemia, Czech Republic, for creating a stimulating and friendly environment and for enabling me to realize the research visits to the Republic of Korea that massively broadened my academic knowledge. In particular, I am very grateful to Magda B. Leichtova for her mentoring, invaluable insights and advice of all kinds. Without her encouragement, I would never have dared to approach such a renowned publisher as Routledge. Furthermore, I would like to thank Marta Kollerova for her helpfulness and never-ending support and Martina Ponizilova and Jirka Zakravsky for being the greatest friends and colleagues one could ever wish for.

Special thanks also go to Boyeon Na from the University of North Korean Studies, Seoul, Republic of Korea for not ignoring my e-mails and enabling me to spend hundreds of hours in the library as well as to all the library employees. Without their help, this book would have never been written.

Also, I gratefully acknowledge the permission of the ACTA FF ZCU journal to reprint the article Severn Korea v Mezinrodnch Vztazch: Jak Uchopovat Severokorejskou Zahranin Politiku published in ACTA FF ZCU, no. 3, pp. 725 in this book as well as the permission of the Journal of International Relations to reprint the article Role Theoretic Approach and North Korean Foreign Policy Analysis published in Journal of International Relations XV, no. 1, pp. 527.

Last but not least, I would like to thank to my family and friends for supporting me during all these endless years of studies. Very special thanks go to my husband Stepan. His encouragement and love made the completion of my PhD thesis and of this book possible.

In the last 20 or 30 years, North Korean foreign policy has become an increasingly popular topic for researchers all over the world. Very often, papers published in that particular field outnumber those dealing with North Korean domestic politics. For example, there have been historical works mapping the developments of North Korean diplomacy (e.g. Armstrong 2013), publications dealing with the Democratic Peoples Republic of Koreas (hereinafter referred to as the DPRK) relations with particular countries (e.g. Suh 2014), an increasing number of studies whose authors try to detect crucial processes and determinants influencing North Korean foreign policy formation (e.g. Frank 2010) and many more.1 Nevertheless, not much attention has been paid either to North Korean perceptions of its
