ABSTRACT

There are very complicated and confronting approaches to the analysis of North Korean famine. Two dominant approaches on the issue of famine are food availability decline approach (FAD) and food entitlement decline approach (FED). The desirable analysis of famine cause is possible when it balanced between FAD and FED approaches. In North Korean famine studies, however, there have been a tendency that it was divided into FAD and FED. This paper examines FAD and FED approaches as two dominant analytical framework for famine analysis. Based on FAD and FED framework, we categorized the existing papers and reports on North Korean famine and found relationship between the administration of South Korea and a preferred approach.
