商品描述

Politics of the North Korean Diaspora examines how authoritarian security concerns shape global diaspora politics. Empirically, it traces the recent emergence of a North Korean diaspora - a globally-dispersed population of North Korean émigrés - and argues that the non-democratic nature of the DPRK homeland regime fundamentally shapes diasporic politics. Pyongyang perceives the diaspora as a threat to regime security, and attempts to dissuade emigration, de-legitimate diasporic voices, and deter or disrupt diasporic political activity, including through extraterritorial violence and transnational repression. This, in turn, shapes the North Korean diaspora's perceptions of citizenship and patterns of diasporic political engagement: North Korean émigrés have internalized many host country norms, particularly the civil and participatory dimensions of democratic citizenship, and émigrés have played important roles in both host-country and global politics. This Element provides new empirical evidence on the North Korean diaspora; demonstrates that regime type is an important, understudied factor shaping transnational and diasporic politics; and contributes to our understanding of comparative authoritarianism's global impact.

《北韓流亡者的政治》探討了專制安全關切如何塑造全球流亡者政治。從實證角度來看,它追蹤了北韓流亡者的最近出現 - 一個全球分散的北韓移民人口 - 並主張朝鮮民主主義人民共和國(DPRK)祖國政權的非民主性質從根本上塑造了流亡者政治。平壤認為流亡者對政權安全構成威脅,並試圖阻止移民,非法化流亡者聲音,以及阻止或干擾流亡者的政治活動,包括通過境外暴力和跨國壓制。這反過來又塑造了北韓流亡者對公民身份的認知和流亡者政治參與的模式:北韓移民已內化了許多東道國的規範,特別是民主公民身份的公民和參與維度,並在東道國和全球政治中發揮了重要作用。這篇文章提供了關於北韓流亡者的新的實證證據;證明了政權類型是塑造跨國和流亡者政治的一個重要但鮮有研究的因素;並有助於我們理解比較專制主義的全球影響。
