[KS] Well Known Scholarship/Articles on North Korea

[Afostercarter at aol.com]

Dear Roland, 
 
No need to apologize. This is what the KS List is  for!
 
As you know, and as I trust your critic  knows,
"North Korean scholarship" can be hard to find,
and hard to chew and digest even if found.
(A bit like eating bark or grass, perhaps.)
 
But there is some out there. Here's one instance,
published in Stockholm. He has a certain verve:

Good luck!

Dear All,

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.

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.   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.

However, I have been criticized for not including  more "North Korean 
Scholarship on this important subject."  

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. 
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.
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? 
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.

Thank you for the assistance!

Best  Regards,

Roland
