Acting on this general assumption, a coincidence of national unification and abrupt system change similar to the German process of transition does not seem likely. At most a policy of small steps may be an alternative. This is the reason why South Korean project partners are also interested in the antecedent times of two divided German states. From a theoretical perspective, the attempt of transferring the knowledge of unification to Korea requires a new contextualization of knowledge. This act can be understood as a process of transcoding. Having the practical expectations of Korean project partners in mind, a set of “manuals” has been worked out for seven domains of transfer. Additionally, a simulation game has been created and already tested. The written manuals may be useful to promote at least incremental steps towards a controlled institutional change of a dictatorial regime.}, keywords = {Bundesrepublik Deutschland; politisches System; transformation; knowledge transfer; simulation; institutional change; Wiedervereinigung; cultural factors; Nordkorea; politischer Wandel; Transformation; Südkorea; political change; Simulation; kulturelle Faktoren; system change; South Korea; Federal Republic of Germany; North Korea; reunification; political system; Wissenstransfer; institutioneller Wandel; Systemveränderung}}
