| Summary/Abstract |
After the Korean War (1950-53), the two militarized Koreas governed each and every member of society in similar ways through their disciplinary politics of antagonistic nationalism. The existing studies of state formation in the two Koreas have neglected an aspect of state power that was neither necessarily top-down nor violent from above but also reproduced from below. In both South and North Korea, especially from the 1960s to the 1970s, state power had internal dynamics that penetrated the day-to-day activities of most citizens and led them to actively accept and participate in nationalist rule. This article explores an understudied aspect of the two Koreas' state power that was disciplinarily diffused in people's everyday practices through reproduction of aggressive nationalism from below and the organic construction of the individual body and nation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Purpose-This article explores human rights and refugee status of the North Korean diaspora, with particular focus on the social construction of refugee rights.
Design/methodology/approach-The study analyzes the realities of the unstable status of the North Korean refugees in Asian and Western countries by focusing on the discrepancy between refugee rights and refugee status. Legal, political, diplomatic, and social issues around North Korean refugee status are examined by conducting an examination of the related countries' political discourses and actual policies.
Findings-North Korean escapees in Northeast and Southeast Asia have lived in hiding from forced repatriations by the PRC and neighboring countries, vulnerable to human rights violations. While North Koreans in South Korea have been granted legal citizenship, many North Korean asylum seekers staying in other countries have not been under legal or humanitarian protection. Although the concerned states are under pressure from the international community advocating universal human rights of North Koreans, they enforce refugee policies pursuing their own political and economic interests. Thus, the status of North Koreans is unstable and threatened when refugee rights are politically constructed by the concerned states' political and economic interests as well as by international relations.
