Ⅰ. Foreword
Since the socialist governments of eastern Europe collapsed like dominoes in the wake 
of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the situation in North Korea has steadily 
deteriorated into a general crisis, arguably the worst since the founding of the 
Pyongyang regime in 1948. It is questionable whether the regime is capable of 
overcoming its current problems, which are largely attributable to structural 
deficiencies such as organizational and systemic fatigue afflicting the socialist regime 
based on the Juche ideology of self-reliance. 
The only solution to such a situation would be a fundamental structural reform. Over the 
past four years, following the death of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il has demonstrated no 
vision for reforming his regime. North Korea has recently reorganized its state 
mechanism by amending the constitution on September 5. To the dismay of the outside 
world, North Korea seems to have returned to a revolutionary, military government 
system without a nominal head of state. 
In typical fashion, North Korea did not live up to the expectations of the outside world 
that Kim Jong-il would be elected to be the president at the newly-convened 
parliamentary session and instead created an extraordinary leadership, headed by the 
chairman of the National Defense Commission, as if the nation were in a state of war. 
This paper attempts to evaluate recent changes in the political situation in North Korea, 
discuss possible changes in military, economic and diplomatic policies followed by 
realignment of the ruling system, and analyze the influence on regional stability.
