AB - North Korea has been striving to promote a national informatization strategy after getting through the period of ‘Arduous March’in the 1990s. First of all, North Korea has made organizations required for implementing the national informatization strategy. They reorganized and created the Science & Education Ministry, the Machine & Industry Ministry, and the 21 bureau under the Workers' Party of Korea while making special units in the Royal Mail, Royal electron & industry, National Academy of Sciences under cabinet. Then they completed all the essential organizational system for informatization including newly built specialized agencies: 'Korea Computer Center; KCC' &'Pyongyang Informatics Center: PIC'. But North Korea’s informatization system has a rigid hierarchy. All the organizations in the hierarchical system are controlled by the Workers' Party of Korea. It means that North Korea consider IT as a tool for the centralized control of the Party and the government. So, these characteristics of North Korea’s informatization system clearly give us a picture that tells us what they want from the national informatization and where they’re going.
