| Title | Unmaking Violence of the International Community: Politics of Categorization and Forced Repatriation of North Korean Migrant Workers |
| Summary | This thesis is an inquiry into the politics of categorization, representations of people as part of ‘forced labour’ or ‘slavery’ and the UN sanctions. In particular, these broad issues are a matter of concern in the context of the UN Security Council decision to repatriate North Korean ‘migrant workers’ from the UN Member states by the end of 2019. The thesis asks the question how has the category of North Korean migrant workers been produced in international politics? By means of poststructuralist discourse analysis and application of wide range of critical theories including postcolonial studies and critical legal studies it shows how in being represented as passive, absent of any voice ‘items’ people are further perceived by the Security Council in a similar way due to its punishment-centered structure. |
