Since the end of the Cold War, however, diverse and rather profound economic and societal changes have taken place. Where has North Korea been heading in terms of domestic and foreign policy since Kim Jong-un came to power? Does the young dictator really not tolerate senior political leaders or is he just a puppet of the really powerful within the Communist Par-ty? And what does the recent purge reveal about Pyongyang’s relationship with its big neigh-bour, China?
In cooperation with the German-Korean Association Hamburg (DKGH) and the German Asia-Pacific Business Association (OAV), the GIGA has organised a high-quality GIGA Forum. Speaking at the event will be Rüdiger Frank, a professor of East Asian Economy and Society at the University of Vienna and one of the most renowned North Korea specialists worldwide, and James Hoare, who as a British diplomat was chargé d'affaires and HM consul general at the British Embassy in Pyongyang.

GIGA Forum Einladung You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
