This study attempts to examine the philosophical foundation of Kim Dae-jung’s sunshine policy and to draw implications for managing the current crisis of peace. After he became president in 1998, President Kim began to systemize his thoughts on Korean unification into the sunshine policy or the policy of reconciliation and cooperation and laid out its three principle: non-toleration of North Korea’s military provocation, no pursuit of unification by absorption, and the realization of de facto unification through the promotion of exchange and cooperation. It was strategic and holistic approach that aimed at genuine, long-term improvements in inter-Korean relations through the promotion of exchanges and cooperation, trust-building, and peaceful co-existence. Although the implementation of sunshine policy encountered numerous challenges and obstacles of domestic and foreign politics, President Kim Dae-jung did not abandon his sunshine policy. But a major setback arose with the advent of the Lee Myung-bak government which discarded the engagement policy as a failed policy. However, sunshine policy produced impressive results for reconciliation, co-operation, change and peace in a short time. Two Korean summits, the Kaesong Industrial Complex, the Mt. Geumgang tourist project, a large number of family reunions and South Korean visits to North Korea as well as visible change in the North toward opening all underscore the power and relevance of the sunshine policy. In other words, for the engagement policy framed around mutual recognition and respect, exchange and cooperation, trust-building, peaceful co-existence, and de facto unification is the only way to ensure stable peace and common prosperity on the Korean peninsula.
Abstract
This study attempts to examine the philosophical foundation of Kim Dae-jung’s sunshine policy and to draw implications for managing the current crisis of peace. After he became president in 1998, President Kim began to systemize his thoughts on Korean unification into the sunshine policy or the policy of reconciliation and cooperation and laid out its three principle: non-toleration of North Korea’s military provocation, no pursuit of unification by absorption, and the realization of de facto unification through the promotion of exchange and cooperation. It was strategic and holistic approach that aimed at genuine, long-term improvements in inter-Korean relations through the promotion of exchanges and cooperation, trust-building, and peaceful co-existence. Although the implementation of sunshine policy encountered numerous challenges and obstacles of domestic and foreign politics, President Kim Dae-jung did not abandon his sunshine policy. But a major setback arose with the advent of the Lee Myung-bak government which discarded the engagement policy as a failed policy. However, sunshine policy produced impressive results for reconciliation, co-operation, change and peace in a short time. Two Korean summits, the Kaesong Industrial Complex, the Mt. Geumgang tourist project, a large number of family reunions and South Korean visits to North Korea as well as visible change in the North toward opening all underscore the power and relevance of the sunshine policy. In other words, for the engagement policy framed around mutual recognition and respect, exchange and cooperation, trust-building, peaceful co-existence, and de facto unification is the only way to ensure stable peace and common prosperity on the Korean peninsula.
