Socialism - communism or nationalism? The North Korean Paradigm from 1945 to the present day
Abstract
The paper analyzes if North Korea, since its creation in 1948 and up to the present moment, has been a State based on a socialista or communist ideological conception, or whether nacionalisme has been the fundamental element of its construction as a Republic and as an element uniting its political and military leadership and the north korean people.
