Sumario:The concept of security has undergone significant change. Traditionally thought of in terms of the state-centric, militarily focused, realist discourse, the concept of security has been broadened to include a greater number of potential threats and an increased number of relevant actors. Yet, despite the great changes in security scholarship, the vast majority of studies on North Korea continue to focus primarily on the country's nuclear weapons program, its military, and other traditional security issues surrounding Pyongyang. While North Korea captures headlines with its aggressive behavior and growing nuclear arsenal, the ground-level threats to average, everyday North Koreans go largely unnoticed. This volume seeks to refocus research on North Korean security from the traditional to largely unexplored non-traditional security (NTS) issues.
Notas:Many chapters are based on papers presented at the International Conference on Non-Traditional Security Issues in North Korea, held in Seoul, July 13-14, 2010.
