북한 권력조직의 독재체제 장기화와 효율성에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study attempted a Q-analysis to identify the types of North Korean defectors’ perceptions about the prolongation and efficiency of dictatorship in North Korea’s power organizations. As a result of the analysis, this study found two structures of North Korean defectors’subjectivity for the efficiency of the prolongation of the power organizations’ dictatorship. The first type consisted of people who recognized Kim Il-sung’s family as the only divine being. The North Korean defectors belonging to this type judged that the Military and three security agencies (People’s Security Department, State Security Department, and People’s Army Security Bureau) were thoroughly seized by the party and administrative control mechanisms, the Workers’ Party’ exercise of the complete authority of control over the entire sectors of the state. Also, they paid attention to the realities in which the press idolized the dictator and served as an advance guard of the beautification of dictatorship and that for the economy, the civilian economy led by the Cabinet has been just cosmetic as the military economy led by the Workers’Party encroached most of the national economy. Thus, this researcher called them “regime conservation type.” The second type of people judged that the North Korean army might revolt against Kim Il-sung’s family if the people’s anti-establishment riot expanded. They are a type of people who recognized the possibility the North Korea’s dictatorship may accept the economic opening policy with the possibility of changes in the dictatorial power e.g. The three security agencies conflict with each other and hold others in check, and the possibility of the infinite accumulation of private properties. Thus, this researcher called them “regime change-type.”
