This paper is an attempt to understand the changes of the DPRK'sstate-capitalist system and state-socialist system. Basic viewpoints in thisstudy are structural holism perspectives in the World-System and complexsystem approaches. Since the Red Revolution in 1949 the development path of Chinesecommunism system followed 3 steps: the withdrawal of the capitalist worldeconomy, the performance of the traditional socialist programs, and thereintegration with the capitalist world economy. By adopting marketallocation mechanism to public ownership system in 1980s and byinstituting 1-nation-2-systems in 1990s, China created a new politicaleconomy system, what are Chinese Socialism Market Economy. Strictlyspeaking, this new Chinese system can be regarded as a state-capitalistsystem rather than a state-socialist system in the World Economy system. In this system, communist governments use various kinds of state-ownedcompanies to manage the exploitation of resources for the state’s crownjewels, and to create and maintain large numbers of jobs. They may utilizeelaborately selected and fostered private-owned companies to improveefficiencies and to strengthen global competitive powers. The sovereignwealth funds can be invested to outside world to maximize the state’sprofits. The State as a whole behaves like a private economic unit seekingfor fortune in international trades and investments fields in the WorldSystem. Whether the ultimate goal of the State be economic or political, itcan be categorized as a state-capitalist system. The writer suggests that the DPRK should follow the Chinese-style ofself-revolution procedure, leading to a market-driven state-capitalism system. Through trials and errors in communism history, leaders of the DPRKmight have learned that the Chinese-style state-capitalism to be essential toDPRK’s survival and development.
