Ryzhova N. P., Zhuravskaya T. N. The idea of private property and "real" captures of land	download russian text
The article is devoted to the discussion of the connection between land captures and the private property that is based on the conclusion that in comparison with the American or Australian model a culturally specific private property institute has been formed in the Far East. The authors do not consider the connection between real captures and established property relations, but the coexistence of the idea of it and the “real” captures in the performative tradition of M. Callon. The results of the study made it possible not only to assert that all property relations formed by land captures are not comparable with ideal models “written off” from Anglo-Saxon law, but also show the significance of the specific context for the relationship model being formed. Thus, it was shown that the liberal-economic idea could help transfer the previously captured lands to private ownership and brings these relations closer to the ideal economic model; could in general remain "unnoticed" in reality; real captures could adjust the ways in which the liberal economic idea of ownership in reality could be implemented; and a variety of other options. The study is based on empirical studies in the Far East in the case study format.

Despite of the fact that Pyongyang outlined core accent on the obtained nuclear weapon and means of delivery in deterrence strategy applied to the USA and its allies, conventional arms are still extremely valuable in national defense planning. The DPRK's military power hasn't being diminished even under the UNSC and unilateral sanctions imposed. Moreover North Korean military industry is still able to develop, produce, test and deploy some arms and munitions. Korean People's Army was dramatically redesigned due to the new vision of the active defense with the stronger incline to the national territory's defense simultaneously hitting the adversary with all means including nuclear devices. Apparently, military and technological superiority the USA and its allies have over Pyongyang isn't a decisive argument for the forceful solution of the North Korean missile and nuclear problem both in high-precision strikes of mass intervention options. However Washington is seemed to utilize such a stalemate and turn it in the respective favor justifying military rebalancing and build-up as well as binding and keeping in check Japan and South Korea around the obsessed idea of DPRK's threat.
