<font style="font-size: 12pt;">Dear All,</font><BR><font style="font-size: 12pt;"></font> <BR><font style="font-size: 12pt;">I apologize for the mass E-mail, but I thought this may be the best way to reach out to the vast amount of knowledge you have.<BR> <BR>I am in the Conflict Resolution (CR) field and am writing a paper on North Korea that deals with the people and how to help solve this protracted conflict. </font><font size="3">In it, I talk about the levels of absolute deprivation and relative deprivation (AD/RD) and how I believe it affects the rational choice and basic human needs of North Korean to include the ability to make regime change. I also mention how food aid can be a way to help raise the average North Korean's sense of life/faculty (RD), which may help bring about eventual changes in the North Korean Government by the people.<br><font style="font-size: 12pt;"></font><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;">However, I have been criticized for not including more "North Korean Scholarship on this important subject." </font></font><br><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;" size="3">Although I am very familiar with North and South Korea, I know of no North Korean Scholarship currently written in the Conflict Resolution Field on Korea. </font><br><font style="font-size: 12pt;">I assume the that I will have to look outside of the CR field possibly in South Korea, but what this good scholarship may be or who, I really do not know.<br> By chance, does anyone know of scholarly, well accepted North Korean scholarship or well known authors who write on the above issues in North Korea? <br>If you could provide a few of the names to me or key article names, I can research the articles/books on those to see what ones may be appropriate for my article.<br> <br>Thank you for the assistance!<br><br></font><font size="3">Best Regards,<br> <br>Roland<br><br><BR></font><div>Roland B.
