그린데탕트의 개념과 추진전략

Abstract

This paper offers some theoretical arguments for feasibility of Korea's greendetente which may be developed as a new model for conflict resolutions. Non-exclusivity of such public goods as environment makes some troubles inburden sharing while their non-rivalry motivates green cooperation even undercompetitive relations. Green detente, which is defined a process of politicaldetente brought by green cooperation, is one of relationships between greencooperation and political detente. In real world, green cooperation is rarer thana reverse process in which political detente brings green cooperation. Whethergreen cooperation is initiated by itself or by political detente, however, it maycontribute to restoring political detente with surviving even after a breach inthe political relations. Some conditions for successful green detente are listedhere. A green project is more feasible when additional conflict is expected incase the project is not executed, when production of greater benefits isexpected from executing the project, when one's withdrawal of the project doesnot threaten the other, when one's cooperation cannot be converted into theother's military capability, when the project assists starving people humanely,when the project helps a government to stay in power, and when the projectis preferred by the international community. These conditions for successfulgreen detente imply that green detent may be promoted through designatingsome specific areas as a special green detente zone.
