Abstract

In this historically grounded, richly empirical study of social and economic transformation in North Korea, Hazel Smith evaluates the 'marketization from below' that followed the devastating famine of the early 1990s, estimated to be the cause of nearly one million fatalities. Smith shows how the end of the Cold War in Europe and the famine brought radical social change to all of North Korean society. This major new study analyses how marketization transformed the interests, expectations and values of the entire society, including Party members, the military, women and men, the young and the elderly. Smith shows how the daily life of North Koreans has become alienated from the daily pronouncements of the North Korean government. Challenging stereotypes of twenty-five million North Koreans as mere bystanders in history, Smith argues that North Koreans are 'neither victims nor villains' but active agents of their own destiny.

Abstract

En succédant en décembre 2011 à son père Kim Jong-il, qui avait pris la suite de son père Kim Il-sung en juillet 1994, Kim Jong-un, le nouveau maître de Pyongyang, a confirmé que la République démocratique et populaire de Corée était plus que jamais la première monarchie absolue communiste de l'histoire. Une contradiction aussi absurde aurait de quoi fasciner si la Corée du Nord ne s'avérait un des régimes les plus impitoyables et dangereux de la planète. L'ordre règne sans doute à Pyongyang, mais grâce à un pouvoir concentrationnaire qui n'a pas hésité à affamer le peuple coréen pour se doter de l'arme atomique.Première biographie croisée des trois Kim qui ont imposé sans partage leurs volontés et leurs caprices à la Corée du Nord depuis trois quarts de siècle, ce livre, nourri aux meilleures sources internationales, donne à comprendre l'évolution d'un gouvernement unique dans l'histoire, entre violences endémiques, idéaux dévoyés, nationalisme exacerbé, absolutisme frénétique, culte du chef et terreur généralisée. Car la dynastie rouge n'est ni une aberration politique, ni une chimère coréenne, ni une métastase stalinienne, mais la mue cohérente d'un régime meurtrier et opportuniste, prêt à tout pour se maintenir au pouvoir.
