How Americans Think about North Korea: 2000–2007

Jibum Kim, Carl Gershenson, Jaeki Jeong and Tom W. Smith

Address correspondence to Jibum Kim; e-mail: kim-jibum{at}norc.org.

Fifty years after the Korean War (1950–1953), sometimes called the Forgotten War, the Koreas had receded into the back of the American mind. But the Axis of Evil address and the revelation of North Korea's nuclear weapons program have reeducated Americans to see the South as an ally and the North as a menacing regime. Despite an overwhelming antipathy to North Korea and a heightened sense of vulnerability, few Americans support a course of action more aggressive than diplomatic negotiations.

JIBUM KIM is with NORC and Center on Aging and Population Research Center at the University of Chicago, IL, USA. CARL GERSHENSON is with the NORC. CARL GERSHENSON is with the Department of Information Sociology at Soongsil University, South Korea. TOM W. SMITH is with the NORC. An earlier version of the paper was presented at the meetings of American Association of Public Opinion Research, Garden Grove, CA, May 2007.
