| Summary/Abstract |
Purpose-This article describes and analyzes the DPRK's cultural diplomacy during the early months of Kim Jong-un's reign.
Methodology-We analyze the recent practice of North Korea's cultural diplomacy, using two case studies: the KCNA-Associated Press photo exhibition in New York, and the tour of the Unhasu Orchestra to Paris.
Findings-Both initiatives coincided with the first months of Kim Jong-un's reign, and can provide an alternate perspective on both North Korean foreign policy and the wider debate about how to best engage the DPRK.
Originality/value-The article thus adds to the literature on North Korean foreign relations as well as cultural diplomacy more generally.

| Summary/Abstract |
In analyzing North Korean song propaganda captured during the Korean War and Kim Il Sung's writings about music, this paper argues for consideration of music's significance as a component in the North Korean revolution. Music's respective connections to North Korean religion, education, and military discipline are examined. The paper contributes thereby to debates on the cultural Cold War in Korea, North Korean state formation, and the role of international influence on the Korean Peninsula.

| Summary/Abstract |
Before Liu Shengqi (柳陞祺) became the early PRC's foremost historian of Tibet, he was an English-language secretary in Lhasa for the Nationalist Government's Commission on Mongolia and Tibet. His travels and assessment of Han-Tibetan relations in and around Lhasa provide a unique perspective on Tibet's tenuous relationship with the Chinese central government from 1945 until 1949. With the 2010 publication of Liu's recollections in Lhasa (in Chinese), a new window is opened on the literature on Tibet's history -- and assertions of Guomindang power in the region -- in the period just preceding the traumatic collision with Maoism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using newly available documents from the PRC Foreign Ministry Archive, this article traces the evolving legacies of the War of Resistance in the first seven years of the People's Republic. Analysis is offered of PRC campaigns against Japanese bacteriological war crimes, criticisms of American dealings with Japanese war criminals, and the 1956 trial of Japanese at Shenyang. Throughout, behind-the-scenes tensions with the Soviet Union and internal bureaucratic struggles over the Japanese legacy regarding these matters are revealed. The article thereby aims to shed light on how the War of Resistance affected post-war China's foreign relations, demonstrating how the young Republic advantageously used wartime legacies as diplomatic tools in relations with the superpowers and within the orchestrated clangour of domestic propaganda campaigns.
