Abstract

Bu çalışma, Charles Hermann’ın dış politikada değişim modeli kullanılarak Kuzey Kore’nin kuruluşundan bugüne dış politikasında yaşanan değişim incelemektedir. Hermann’ın modelinden yola çıkarak Kuzey Kore’nin dış politikasındaki değişim incelendiğinde ülkenin farklı dönemlerde iki aşamada politika değişikliği yaşadığı görülmektedir. İlk aşama, Kuzey Kore’nin Soğuk Savaş dönemindeki ittifak tercihlerinden oluşmaktadır. İkinci aşama ise, Soğuk Savaş sonrası süreçte Kuzey Kore lideri olan Kim Jong-il’in “Önce Ordu” politikası ile başlattığı ve babasının ardından görevi devralan Kim Jong-un “paralel kalkınma” politikası ile sürdürdüğü program değişiklikleridir. Bu çerçevede bu çalışma, Kuzey Kore’nin bu iki aşamadaki değişiklikleri neden ve nasıl gerçekleştirdiğini incelemektedir.

Change in North Korea’s Foreign Policy since Its Foundation: A Historical Review

Abstract

Based on Charles Hermann's model of foreign policy change, this study examines the change in North Korea's foreign policy since its establishment. When the change in North Korea's foreign policy is examined based on Hermann's model, it is seen that in different periods the country has undergone policy changes in two stages. The first stage consists of North Korea's alliance preferences during the Cold War. The second stage consists of the program changes that were started by Kim Jong-il, who became the leader of North Korea in the post-Cold War period, with the "Army First" policy and is continued with the "parallel development" policy of Kim Jong-un, who assumed the leadership after his father. In this context, this study examines why and how North Korea accomplished the first two stages of change.
