The production of the North Korea fisheries industry has been steadily falling since it reached its peak in the 1980s. The production of thefisheries industry is an important indicator of the current status and changes in the North Korea fisheries industry as a whole. This study reviewed the production volume of the North Korea fishery and derived changes and characteristics of the North Korea fisheries from the standpoint of production changes. Changes in North Korea's fisheries industry in the situation of falling production are as follows. First, the production of capture fisheries has fallen sharply. Second, the production of seaweed farming increased. In particular, the production of kelp farming has increased rapidly since the 1970s. Third, North Korea is trying to diversify its production means to cope with the decline in production. The characteristics of the North Korea fisheries from the viewpoint of falling production are as follows. First, the proportion of seaweed aquaculture in the fishery output is excessively high. In particular, the proportion of kelp is high. Second, production facilities are concentrated in the East Sea. Third, there is little production of fish farming using deep-sea fishing and sea sponges. Fourth, the production of the fisheries industry is falling continuously in the long term.

The purpose of this paper is to confirm the trend of inland water fish farming in North Korea and to suggest a plan for inter-Korean cooperation. North Korea’s inland water fish farming laid the foundation for production in the 1950s and 1960s, and production facilities were expanded until 1980. In the midst of the severe economic crisis in the 1990s, North Korea paid attention to inland water fish farming as an alternative to food production. The military took the lead in expanding the aquaculture industry and catfish farming was encouraged. In the Kim Jong-un era, North Korea’s inland fish farming continues the tradition of catfish farming and promotes a policy of expanding inland cage farming. This study comprehensively reviewed recent inter-Korean relations, North Korea’s food crisis and acceptability, and UN sanctions. As a result, inland water fish farming is the most promising field for inter-Korean cooperation in the field of fisheries. In the initial stage of inter-Korean cooperation in the field of inland water fish farming, humanitarian aid projects such as feed and seed support can be promoted. In the stage of expanding inter-Korean cooperation, knowledge sharing program and materials and facilities support projects can be promoted. Development cooperation and direct private investment are possible at the full-scale stage.

The election is certainly the most important procedure in democracy political organization. It is the essence of an election that an elector chooses a candidate, has him planned and executed policy and evaluates the result. Therefore, although rational vote is actually realized by such method. Meanwhile, electors voted based on a sense of togetherness by regionalism, financial influence, an area, school connections as the standard of selecting a political party and a candidate in a South Korea election. Moreover, since candidates’s policies and election pledges are announced thoughtlessly without calculating budget and realizability, it made electors hand to select an candidate it ann also made a vote corrupt as much as the regionalism or plutocracy. Based on such an awareness of the issues, the manifesto was chosen in order to make a policy oriented by the evaluation to a campaign pledge in 2006. Manifesto makes electors evaluate a candidate’s pledge easily by indicating the taget, priority, period, fairness, budget etc on a numerical value when political party and a candidate presents the campaign pledges of the election. It is the election tool which electors can evaluate subsequently whether the campaign pledge was realized and can utilize it for the following election.
