| Sumario: | Appointed secretly to succeed his father Kim Il Sung in 1974, Kim Jong Il had to build his own base of power over the next six years in order to secure control of the North Korean communist regime. Using currently available sources, we will analyze this period, which was marked by deep ideological changes, the issue of generational change and the unsuccessful resistance inside the regime's institutions to hereditary succession of political power. The main objective of the regimen between 1974 and 1980 was to consolidate the figure of Kim Jong Il as the future leader and the acceptance of the father-son succession both within North Korean politics and society, as well as with Communist allies. It was not an easy task because the process had to face internal opposition within the regimen, the mistakes of Kim Jong Il himself, and the reluctance of China and the Soviet Union. However, all these incoveniences could be overcome and finally Kim Il Sung's son was promoted to the position of heir and future leader of North Korea. |
