북한 군대의 사회적 역할: 1948~1980

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the social role of North Korean Army from 1948 to 1980. The researchers is paying attention on the role extension of North Korea Army since the appearance of “military first” policy in the mid and late of 1990's. Since the research of North Korea Army was mainly focused on the political role, it was not possible to expand denotation of research. Therefore, this study is based on the above mentioned critical mind to determine the scope of study from 1948 when the North Korea Army was established until 1980 before Kim Jungil made an appearance in earnest. And also the social role of North Korea Army during the time for Kim Ilsung had been studied through this. The importance of Army had been enormously raised in the state of time demanding parallel advance line for national defence as well as economy, such as The Korean War on June 25, 1950and the time for postwar recovery. The army supported the civilian of North Korea or maintained the cooperation relationship through many times of mobilization in regard to social role. These experiences had allowed the opportunity for the Army and Civilian to share the team spirit of ‘homeland’ and granting sense of unity by sacrificing their lives. The North Korean Army had been participated more on the everyday of front line due to the shortage of workforce since the war. However, the social role of army has been significantly declined as the authorities of North Korea pursed the parallel advance line for national defense and economy and reinforced the system.
