Description
This scholarly examination explores how North Korea has conceptualised and articulated human rights since its 1945 independence from Japan, drawing on post-colonial, Marxist and Confucian theoretical frameworks. Dr Jiyoung Song analyses North Korea's public documents and official positions on human rights within their historical and cultural context, whilst also addressing international criticism and allegations of violations from foreign governments and non-governmental organisations. The book bridges the gap between external scrutiny and internal North Korean perspectives, offering a nuanced understanding of how competing ideological traditions have shaped the nation's approach to human rights discourse. This Routledge Advances in Korean Studies volume provides essential reading for students and scholars of East Asian politics, human rights law, comparative philosophy and Korean studies seeking to understand the complex intersection of colonialism, communist ideology and traditional Confucian values in North Korean thought.

Key Features

Routledge Advances in Korean Studies series offers peer-reviewed scholarship on Korean peninsula history, politics and culture from international experts.

Dr Jiyoung Song examines primary North Korean public documents to trace the conceptual development of human rights since 1945.

The book integrates post-colonial theory, Marxist analysis and Confucian philosophy to explain North Korea's distinctive human rights framework.

Addresses the tension between North Korea's internal discourse and external international criticism regarding alleged human rights violations.

Essential resource for scholars of East Asian politics, Korean studies, human rights law and comparative political philosophy.
