[학술논문] 북한의 통일전선전술 비교(김일성·김정일·김정은 시대) 연구

본 연구의 목적은 북한 통일전선전술의 지속성과 변화를 평가하고 분단 이후 김일성·김정일·김정은 시기의 ‘공산주의 대남통일전선전술’의 공통점과 차이점을 분석하는 것이다. 북한의 ‘통일전선전술’의 본질을 정확히 파악하기 위해 ‘대남혁명 전략’ 의 개념과 기원 배경을 포함한 김일성 시대부터 김정일과 김정은 시대까지의 시기별 최고지도자가 추구해 온 ‘대남혁명전략’ 과 ‘통일전선 전술’의 전개양상을 각종 문헌과 실제 전개된 사례를 바탕으로 비교 하였다. 김일성·김정일·김정은 시대 통일전선전술의 지속성은 최고지도자의 절대권력 유지안정을 위한 체제결속이며, 각 지도자의 시대별 대남혁명 기조와 통일전선이론의 목표는 북한 내부의 혁명역량을 강화 시켰다. 특히, 김정은 시대에서는 지능화된 통일전선전술로서 사이버(Cyber)활동기반의

...resulting in the generation of new meanings. Through Erving Goffman’s dramaturgical interaction theory, the study further reveals that reunion venues function as stages where the '<em>front</em> stage' and 'back stage' coexist. On the <em>front</em> stage, emotions and behaviors are formalized according to established norms, emphasizing the sacred narrative of family reunification. In contrast, the back stage exposes tensions...

[국내] Human Rights Abuses in North Korea’s Nuclear Program

[국내] 미북 정상회담 평가와 한국의 안보 우려

...만남이 될 것으로 기대했던 싱가포르 미북 정상회담이 별다른 성과를 내지 못한 채 끝났다. 만남 자체로도 의미가 크지만 기대가 컸던 만큼 실망도 크다. 포괄적으로 비핵화 원칙에는 합의 했지만 당초 기대했던 완전하고 검증가능하고 불가역적인 핵폐기(CVID)는 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 폼페오 국무장관이 강조했던 검증이나 볼튼 보좌관이 언급했던 소위 ‘초기적재(<em>front</em> loading)’ 방식도 볼 수 없다. 더욱 우려되는 상황은 정상회담 종료 후 트럼프 대통령의 기자회견에서 나왔다. 한미 연합군사훈련을 일방적으로 중단한다고 언급한 것이다. 소중한 비핵화 협상 자산을 그것도 한국 정부와의 긴밀한 협의 없이 소진해 버렸다. 비핵화를 위해 정상회담을 했는데 비핵화에 대해서는 모호성만 남고 한미동맹 약화의 가능성만 높이는...

Since October 2024, North Korea has deployed its military—centered around special forces—to the "Russia-Ukraine War," and they continue to be engaged in combat on the <em>front</em> lines.
