Question: The politics of North Korea is a concept created by Hwang Jang-yop and latter attributed to this man who was the leader of North Korea from its establishment in 1948 to 1994
Context: The Communist movement in Korea emerged as a political movement in the early 20th century.  Although the movement had a minor role in pre-war politics, the division between the communist North Korea and the anti-communist South Korea came to dominate Korean political life in the post-World War II era.  North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, continues to be a Juche "socialist" state under the rule of the Workers Party of Korea.  In South Korea, communism remains illegal through the National Security Law.  Due to end of economic aid from Soviet Union after Dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and impractical ideological application of Communist economy in North Korea over years of economic slowdown in 1980s and receding during 1990s, North Korea replaced Communism with Juche ideology in its 1992 and 1998 Constitutional revision for the personal cult of Kim's family dictatorship and (albeit reluctanly) opening of North Korean market economy reform, though it still remains a centrally planned economy with complete control of the state and agriculture with collectivized farms and state-funded education and healthcare. At the conclusion of World War II the Allied nations began the process of disarmament of Axis controlled regions.  Japan occupied Korea at this time and had been in control since 1910.  In 1945, the decision was made to have American Marines forces oversee Japanese surrender and disarmament south of the 38th parallel and the Soviet Union would facilitate the change of power to the north.  At the time there was no political motivation and seemed to be a logical and convenient plan of action.  The original agreement and intent was to create a unified and independent Korea out of the post Japanese occupation era.  Instead each side of the 38th parallel established its own government under the influence of the occupational country; the United States in South Korea and the Soviet Union in North Korea.  Both new Korean governments discredited the other and claimed to be the only legitimate political system.  Tensions between the North and South escalated and each side began to petition foreign powers for resources and support.  South Korea wanted weapons and supplies from Truman and the United States government while North Korea sought help from Stalin and the Soviet Union.  The United States was still war weary from the disruptive World War II campaign and refused South Korea's request for weapons and troops.  North Korea convinced the Soviet Union to supply them with the weapons and support they requested.  This decision coincided with the United States withdrawing the last remaining combat troops from South Korea.  North Korea saw its opportunity and attacked South Korean forces at the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950 and thus initiating the Korean War. New Zealand–North Korea relations (Korean:뉴질랜드-조선민주주의인민공화국 관계) refers to international relations between New Zealand and North Korea.  Relations between the two countries have been almost non-existent since the division of Korea.  During the Korean War in the 1950s, New Zealand troops fought as part of the United Nations force that repelled the North Korean invasion of South Korea.  Since then, New Zealand and North Korea have had little contact, until July 2000 when North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun and New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs Phil Goff met in Bangkok, leading to the establishment of diplomatic relations in March 2001.  The New Zealand ambassador to South Korea based in Seoul is also cross-accredited to North Korea.  In 2006, North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon, drawing criticism and suspension of relations by the New Zealand government, which holds a staunch anti-nuclear policy.  New Zealand began re-establishing formal relations in 2007, when the New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters visited Pyongyang on November 20 to discuss possible political and economic deals with North Korea, on the basis that it start dismantling its nuclear weapons facilities. Hwang Jang-yop (Korean: 황장엽 ; 17 February 192310 October 2010) was a North Korean politician who defected to South Korea in 1997, best known for being, to date, the highest-ranking North Korean defector.  He was largely responsible for crafting "Juche", North Korea's official state ideology. Iran–North Korea relations (Korean: 이란-조선민주주의인민공화국 관계 ; Persian: روابط ایران و کره‌ی شمالی‎ ‎ ) are described as being positive by official news agencies of the two countries.  Diplomatic relations picked up following the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and the establishment of an Islamic Republic.  Iran and North Korea pledge cooperation in educational, scientific, and cultural spheres.  Some media reports claim this cooperation extends to nuclear cooperation, though official U.S. government publications and academic studies have disputed this.  The United States has been greatly concerned by North Korea's arms deals with Iran, which started during the 1980s with North Korea acting as a third party in arms deals between the Communist bloc and Iran, as well as selling domestically produced weapons to Iran, and North Korea continues selling missile to Iran.  North Korea and Iran are the remaining two members of George W. Bush's "Axis of evil", which has led to many of the concerns regarding Iran–North Korea relations. The politics of North Korea takes place within the framework of the official state philosophy, "Juche", a concept created by Hwang Jang-yop and later attributed to Kim Il-sung.  The Juche theory is the belief that through self-reliance and a strong independent state, true socialism can be achieved. Institute of Natural Science (INS) is a university located inside the region of the National Academy of Science in Pyongyang, North Korea.  As Kim Il-sung, a former leader of North Korea, emphasized the significance of education for gifted and talented students, INS originally started as a branch of Kim Il-sung University on January 17, 1962.  It was separated from Kim Il-sung University in 1985.  In South Korean mass media, this university is called "KAIST of North Korea".  Top students of natural sciences or engineering in North Korea study at this university supported totally by North Korean government.  Eighty percent of them is graduated from No.1 Middle Schools, which are science high schools for gifted and talented students in North Korea, and the rest thirty percent are medal winners in the national science (math, physics, chemistry, and biology) olympiads or national science quiz contests. Won Jeong-hwa (born 1974) is a North Korean who was accused by South Korea of spying for the North and was sentenced to 5 years in prison in a court in Suwon on October 15, 2008.  South Korean authorities arrested Won in August 2008 on the accusation of seducing South Korean military officers in exchange for classified information on military installations, which North Korea denies as being South Korean propaganda.  The North denies that she even is an agent, calling her "human scum".  Her step father, Kim Dong-sun, who was arrested at the same time as Won, is also being prosecuted on spying charges.  According to AFP, Won was sent by the NIS to the South in 2001 in the guise of a defector and was assigned to tour the SK military to give anti-communist lectures.  She used the occasion to come in to contact with military officers who she slept with for sensitive military information.  Won was also found guilty of being involved in the kidnapping of a South Korean businessman from China to North Korea in 1999, and of trying to locate a top defector, Jang-yop Hwang, living in the South.  Won attempted suicide in prison on December 23, 2008. Kim Il-sung ( ; Korean: 김일성 , ] ; born Kim Sŏng-ju (김성주 ); 15 April 1912 – 8 July 1994) was the leader of North Korea from its establishment in 1948 until his death in 1994.  He held the posts of Premier from 1948 to 1972 and President from 1972 to 1994.  He was also the leader of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) from 1949 to 1994 (titled as chairman from 1949 to 1966 and as general secretary after 1966).  Coming to power after the overthrow of Japanese rule in 1945, he authorized the invasion of South Korea in 1950, triggering a defense of South Korea by the United Nations led by the United States.  Following military stalemate in the Korean War, a cease-fire was signed on 27 July 1953.  He was one of the longest-serving non-royal heads of state/government in the 20th century, in office for more than 45 years. North Korea Strategy Center (NKSC) is a defector-led NGO that was established in Seoul, South Korea in 2007 to raise awareness about North Korea's human rights conditions, and advocate for freedom and unification in Korea.  Understanding the power of media and information to open minds and bring change, NKSC seeks to bring free press and media into North Korea by working with North and South Koreans, as well as the international community, raising awareness, with emphasis on the need for freedom of information and expression in North Korea.  Since its inception, NKSC has worked with over 150 North Korean defectors and sent over 40,000 DVDs, 400 radio sets, and 4,000 USBs into North Korea.
