De Democratische Volksrepubliek van Korea is niet democratisch, het is geen republiek en het omvat slechts de helft van Korea. Remco Breuker kijkt in zijn vier colleges voorbij de mythes en beeldvorming en gaat in op wat Noord-Korea wél is. Dan blijkt Noord-Korea een feodale monarchie te zijn die niet geïsoleerd is, maar juist internationaal economisch heel actief.

In 2014, the International Space Station unleashed a series of photographs that had netizens around the globe simultaneously slapping their cheeks in disbelief for more reasons than one. For starters, the world was astounded by the crisp definition and stellar resolution of the images captured by the space agency's NightPod lenses, which showed striking satellite shots of the world at nighttime, illuminated by its dazzling city lights. But it was a close-up snap of the China-North Korea border that elicited reactions far greater than the rest, for the image, as terrific as it was, was equally troubling.

Dos cronistas argentinos viajaron a la península coreana sin cruzarse –uno al norte, el otro al sur– y contrastaron visiones sobre cómo se vive el último capítulo de la Guerra Fría.

Какой ценой дается восхищающий мир успех? Олег Кирьянов — журналист-международник, политолог, историк-кореевед, кандидат исторических наук.
