Description

This academic study examines how the North Korean state maintains legitimacy through leader symbols and personality cults that permeate daily life. The book explores the unparalleled frequency and scale of leader-symbol-making in North Korea, demonstrating how these practices shape citizens' minds and emotions. Published by Routledge as part of the Advances in Korean Studies series, this work provides critical analysis of the "leader state" concept, where the regime's authority depends entirely on leaders' personal legitimacy reinforced through systematic indoctrination. The author investigates how both leader symbols and cult activities are deeply embedded in North Korean society, affecting every aspect of public and private existence. This scholarly resource is essential for understanding political systems, state legitimacy, and the role of symbolic power in authoritarian governance.
