Abstract
Abstract The Constitution of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is often dismissed as a meaningless legal instrument within the larger framework of the North Korean legal system. This is an unsurprising view given the portrayal of North Korea as a totalitarian dictatorship, documented human rights abuses, and the lack of access to the country’s lawmaking processes. It is also a foreseeable conclusion if comparisons are made to liberal democratic constitutions that emphasize rights guarantees and judicial protection of the individual. However, the North Korean Constitution deserves more nuanced scrutiny in light of evolving research on socialist and authoritarian constitutionalism in Asia. This chapter demonstrates that the DPRK Constitution should be included as a substantive matter within the analytical frameworks of Asian, socialist, and authoritarian constitutionalism by virtue of how it functions to nation-build, legitimate institutional leadership, signal ideological shifts, regulate society on collectivist, duty-based principles, and guide economic reforms for development and modernization.
