초록
This study scrutinizes North Korea’s market structure, particularly focusing on Okjeon Market in Pyongsung City, the nation’s largest wholesale center. It aims to unravel internal power dynamics and networks by analyzing operational processes, interpersonal connections, and sales structures at a micro-level. Through literature review and trader interviews, it categorizes market distribution structures and processes. Findings reveal a structured framework within Okjeon Market, with diverse roles like traders and mediators. Interpersonal networks involve cooperation among individuals, including occasional collaboration with state officials. Market stall composition reflects both trader dynamics and state influence. Overall, Okjeon Market showcases a development pattern influenced by citizen autonomy and tacit state acceptance. This detailed perspective adds significance to understanding individual networks within North Korean markets, diverging from previous holistic approaches.
