북한 치안기관에 대한 고찰: 김정은 집권기 인민보안부의 사회통제분석을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to select the 10 principles of the only idea with North Korean laws and regulations as research subjects, and to consider the characteristics and social control of the North Korean security agency (North Police). For this reason, the North Korean law, the only ten major principles of thought, conducted a qualitative study on materials published by the North Police. The research results derived in this study are as follows. First, in the early days of Kim Jong-Un's administration, the North Police strongly implemented ‘Repressive State Apparatuses’ and contributed to the stabilization of the administration. However, after the execution of Jang Seong-Taek, the phase of the North Police was found to have weakened slightly. Second, after the stabilization of Kim Jong-Un's administration, North Police was found to control North Korean residents through various Ideological State Apparatuses as well as mandatory control mechanisms. Therefore, when analyzing North Korean security agencies, it is necessary to understand the historical case that the supreme powers use mutual and loyal competition among public security agencies to stabilize the regime. In addition, one of the important parts of the study of North Korean security is that the various policies and projects executed by the North Police are not only enforced, It is that understanding that there is also a persuasive aspect can be used to properly judge the meaning and effectiveness of the North Korean controls. The Soviet Union, communist countries in Eastern Europe, and dictatorships in Arab countries also operated powerful police agencies, but failed to maintain the system. The important reason that North Korea was able to maintain its regime despite the three generations of hereditary succession should also be found in the form of ideological control of the North Police.
