Military capability management in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: the impact of domestic situational and structural factors on military capability and strategy

摘要

This dissertation examines the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) military capability management. Specifically, the study focuses on how and to what extent the DPRK’s domestic situational and structural factors determine the capabilities of the Korean People’s Army (KPA) and mould national defence strategy. The thesis shows how the DPRK’s military capability management and its military industrial complex have been subject to intense centralization and politicization by the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) and the National Defence Commission (NDC). These processes have led to the diversified asymmetric capabilities of the KPA.Since the mid-1960s, the DPRK has pursued the dangui gunsa roseon (Military Lines of the Party) as the fundamental doctrine of its military capability management. The doctrine aimed to make the state’s military capability conform to Kim Il-sung’s juche (self-reliance) ideology.Soon afterwards, the DPRK established the Second Economic Committee (SEC) to oversee the development of the KPA’s capabilities. However, as the economy went into steady decline, the KPA’s capabilities were inevitably affected. Further politicization of the military strengthened from 1999 through songun (military-led) politics, also raised questions over the policy’s effectives in the defence planning context. Moreover, with the death of Kim Jong-il and continuing economic failures, there is now greater uncertainty regarding the future of this military policy given the advent of the third generation DPRK leadership under Kim Jong-un.Given domestic circumstances, it is often assumed that the DPRK does not have sufficient capacity or flexibility to reconfigure its military capability. This dissertation examines these assumptions in greater depth by posing the following questions: What is the essential function of DPRK defence planning? What is the nature of the DPRK’s military capability development?How are the KPA’s capabilities reflected in the DPRK’s military strategy? This thesis applies methods used in defence planning such as the input-conversion-output model to the DPRK’s political-economic structure and situation to uncover the dynamics and objectives of the DPRK’s military capability management process. The thesis finds that Pyongyang faces numerous planning dilemmas, which not only have had decisive implications for the KPA’s mobilization capabilities, but also explain many aspects of the DPRK’s military behaviour to date.
