한반도 통일과 중립화단계의 상관관계 고찰

Abstract

The paper explores how the neutralization and unification policies have been historically implemented and also how the correlation between neutralization and unification is linked to internal, external, and functional aspects during these processes. Furthermore, this paper tried to solve the problem by dividing buffer condition required for the unification of the Korean peninsula into two parts. First part constitutes creating a peace system needed for transferring the Six Party Talks into a multilateral security organization and building neutralization platform. The second part constitutes building neutralization platform by forming an economic and security community. North Korean's goal will bring tension not only in the Korean peninsula but also in the East Asia security. The reason behind this is that, since North Korea carries out all its foreign policies with the basis on the maintenance of its regime which includes succession, if such issues do not proceed as intended in the South Korea-U.S. relationship. possibility is high that a foreign negotiation condition will be made along with interior solidarity in an intense environment. Therefore, application of neutralization which explores not only political measures that can solve this, but also foundation for ultimate unification, is a practical plan that provides the first step for nuclear negotiations and can positively apply in future peace regime of the peninsula.
