Abstract

Within the last seventy years, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has taken an increasingly controversial position in international affairs. As a result of its growing relevance in world politics, this paper is written in the style of a CIA Country Profile and examines North Korea's modern history, ideological beliefs, and international interactions. From World War II to the present-day Kim Regime, it compiles and assesses Open Source Intelligence (OSI) on North Korean historical foundations, social oppression, interactions with world players, and intelligence and military doctrine. Through an examination of OSI documents and interviews published by North Korean defectors, this country report aims to build a complete portrait of the Democratic Republic of North Korea, as well as to compile a comprehensive analysis of the DPRK's threat to international security.
