2019年2月,朝美河内会晤不欢而散,之后朝鲜把更多精力放在国内事务建设上。为了更好地推行新战略路线,朝鲜十分重视党的领导程序化和制度化建设,以及提升国家决策的透明度及合法性。朝鲜在2019年4月和8月相继召开两次最高人民会议,重点讨论宪法修改问题。修改之处包括去掉“先军思想”、规定实际与名义最高领导人合二为一,以及实行社会主义企业责任管理制等内容。当前朝美关系仍处于僵化阶段,为了应对美国的长期围堵、施压和制裁,朝鲜修宪所带来的政策效果也将大打折扣。
<<North Korea turned more attention to domestic issues after a bitter meeting in Hanoi in February 2019. In order to carry out the new strategic line,North Korea attached great importance to the construction of the party leadership procedures and institutions,as well as to enhancing the transparency and legitimacy of state decision-making. As a result,North Korea held two successive Supreme People’s congresses in April and August 2019,with focus on constitutional amendments. North Korea’s new constitution mainly involves:the removal of “military first thought”,the provision of one single actual and nominal supreme leader,as well as the implementation of socialist corporate responsibility management system,which will have an important impact on North Korea’s internal and foreign affairs. However,given the current North Korea-US relations are still in a rigid stage,the long-term U.S. containment,pressure and sanctions will inevitably impair the policy effect of North Korea’s constitutional amendments.
