북한의 경제질서 재편과 ‘관료적 시장’의 형성: 2000년대 이후를 중심으로

Abstract

The planned economy of North Korea was collapsed through the economic crisis in 1990s. Through this period, North Korea accepted the monetization and the market measures. However, the rapid progress of monetization and marketing inevitably resulted in corrosion of recipient system. Nonetheless, North Korea isexpressing the path dependence that cannot be recovered to exclude the entire market with fear of the erosion. Today, North Korea is undergoing the transition period into new systems from original production and distribution system. North Korea is facing the dilemma of maintaining the stability of original governmental system and carrying forward with marketing at the same time. As a resolution, North Korea implanted power on markets for marketing of the power. Currently, North Korea is fiercely competing to overpower the social process of organizing production, manufacturing and distribution with currency involved. The market has become an arena of competition where different subjects of powercompete to win the wealth.  As aresult, markets in North Korea lost the initial autonomous characteristics during economic crisis but are controlled by the bureaucrats. Market sectors and planning sectors are mutually penetrating. The markets in North Korea are not somewhere residents realize their small expectations but rather somewhere a new ruling orders are embraced. North Korea is establishing new economic orders with characteristics of bureaucratic market.
