Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this ebook reproduces the official Library of Congress Federal Research Division Country Study of North Korea. Books in this series describe and analyze the nation's political, economic, social, and national security systems and institutions, and examine the interrelationships of those systems and the ways they are shaped by historical and cultural factors. Each study is written by a multidisciplinary team of social scientists. The authors seek to provide a basic understanding of the observed society, striving for a dynamic rather than a static portrayal. Particular attention is devoted to the people who make up the society, their origins, dominant beliefs and values, their common interests and the issues on which they are divided, the nature and extent of their involvement with national institutions, and their attitudes toward each other and toward their social system and political order.
