Publication Date	2013
Personal Author	Gause, K. E.
Page Count	169
Abstract	It has been a year and a half since Kim Jong-il died and his third son, Kim Jong-un, assumed the reins of power in North Korea. Early in this process, Kim Jong-un received the titles of Supreme Leader and Supreme Commander of the armed forces. In April 2012, at the Fourth Party Conference and the follow-on Supreme People s Assembly, he received the additional titles of power: First Secretary of the Korean Workers Party, Chairman of the Korean Workers Party s (KWP s) Central Military Commission, and First Chairman of the National Defense Commission. But even with these trappings of power, questions remain regarding Kim s ability to run the regime and the workings of the decision-making process inside the North Korean leadership.
