ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze explanations of a North Korea research institute about the C1 industry based upon coal chemistry of Kim Jong-Un era. The logic of localization of sanctions is similar from the Japanese Aggression Period through the period of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il to the period of Kim Jong-Un. Kim Jong-Un is emphasizing subjective economy called the localization of material and facility, and economic growth of N. Korea is being realized around coal. This is the same as the slogan that Kim Il-Sung has advocated after the liberation and Korean War or the slogan that Kim Jong-Un has advocated during the N. Korean’s Famine. It can be analyzed that industrial strategies of nations who do not receive crude oil under sanctions are similar. In other words, industry of N. Korea during Kim Jong-Un era adjusted to sanctions through the C1 coal chemical industry. This is a similar way as Nazi Germany and Japanese imperialism and similar to the industrial strategy South Africa has selected who faced oil sanctions of Britain and the U.S. because of apartheid.
