Herre Jisses,
jag undrar vad det blir av en student som i Nordkorea får undervisning i ekonomi, samhällsvetenskap, filosofi, juridik, historia och litteratur?
En kritisk tänkande, briljant student för vilken världen ligger öppen?
Jag tror att du får tänka i lite andra banor om du vill förstå hur kunskap nås, reproduceras och utvecklas. En av de främsta kännarna av DFR Korea som är verksam utanför DFRK, är en ryss som växte upp i Sovjet, studerade i Pyongyang och är nu professor i S.Korea, Andrei Lankov, som skrev för några månader sedan:
US options on North Korea: It's a choice between bad and worse
"North Korean leaders know that dead people do not need money, and they believe that without nuclear weapons they will be as good as dead.//This leaves us with only one option -- the long-discussed but usually neglected idea of a "freeze." Most freeze proposals are usually structured as such: North Korea gets keep all the nuclear weapons and missiles it has produced so far, but must refrain from testing any missiles and nukes. In exchange, Pyongyang gets a pretty generous package of political concessions and financial aid delivered by the United States and other interested parties.
Such a package would have to be really generous because North Korean leaders, contrary to common assumptions, are not under much pressure. The country's economy, in spite of sanctions, is doing remarkably well: according to the most conservative estimates, in 2016 the GDP growth was close to 4%."
