ROLE THEORETIC APPROACH AND NORTH KOREAN FOREIGN POLICY ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article, I analyse DPRK’s foreign policy using the role theoretic approach. I introduce the role theoretic approach with emphasis on specifics of the North Korean case. Furthermore, attention is paid to the method of content analysis, which stands for crucial methodological instrument helping me to identify the roles DPRK declared. Right after identification of the roles declared, the DPRK's foreign policy is interpreted. Finally, the core assumption of the role theory is examined, i.e. that a correlation exists between rhetorically declared roles and practical foreign-political steps. I conclude with the assertion that this core assumption seems to be mostly valid but some contradictions were also discovered in North Korean case.
