What is North Korea : the Politics of Unconventional Wisdom about?
Park (political science, U. of Georgia) considers the surprising resilience and stability of the socialist state of North Korea as it has faced extreme economic difficulties. Central to his thesis is an explanation of the North Korean ideology of Juche , or self-reliance, which informs political behavior at all levels. Drawing on personal interviews and observations, he describes a political belief system that is comparable to a theology and a society that exhibits characteristics of a religious community.
