Thank you very much. ^^ I just started working on it. I have to hand it in in April. I'm Hungarian, I'm writing it in Hungarian and I was reading about Juche ideology in my language, and someone said, the word Juche means self-confidence so I just wanted to make sure. ^^ I guess they're not right then, that's why I decided not to use sources in Hungarian. In the beginning, I'm planning to write about the relations between South and North since the end of the Korean War, the differences between them including North's Juche ideology and the differences between their economic system. After that I'm gonna start to write about the issue of reunification, the previous efforts to unify the countries and the problems with these efforts. There are some questions in my mind, I'm gonna try to answer them. For example: What form of government would the unified Korea have? How would North Korean citizens be assimilated into a larger community of capitalists? How would South Korea solve North's starving problems? What would happen with North Korea's military?...and so on. I would like to write about the other countries opinion about the unification as well, especially China and Russia. But it's not the last version, I'm still thinking about it. Its really hard to decide what to write when you only have 40 pages. ^^

You mean "주체“ as a idea(thought) which presents North Korea, right? We usually call it "주체사상” not "주체“ "주체사상” : revolutionary ideas which is made by 'Kim il sung'(김일성) and is developed by his son 'Kim Jeong eun'(김정은) (I'm not sure their name in English.) Every policy and act in North Korea are based on "주체사상” It is a kind of communism but it focus on relationship between "leader" and people. ("leader" means “the family") "주체사상” says 'people are the owner of everything and they can decide everything'. They admit the power of revolution and construction comes from 'people', but they enact their relationship as the relation between "master and servant". So 'people' cannot decide anything. I'm also interested in unification of Korea, in education especially. I'm so glad to meet you ^^. If you don't mind, can I ask your thesis in detail?
