초록
As a divided country with an indispensable right to unification, Korea exists in status quo of two states, originating from the split into two intransigent and irreconcilable systems. Axiomatically, national joining with systemic oneness is not possible, excluding a hybrid of two orders in one national country. Until one of the two systems disappears, both states should arrange with each other for good neighborly relations in the interest of peace, cooperation and a future democratic unification. That demands for the time being a rational modus vivendi of coexistence between the two states, with mutual recognition of their sovereign equality, independence and integrity. Of great importance is a decision to solve all Korean problems between the two Korean sides themselves, based on a feasible new Basic Accord; a pragmatic peace agreement; understandings on armaments reduction and enhanced mutual security; and expanding intergovernmental and economic cooperation. The sunshine policy failed to put due emphasis on the major necessity: an interstate normalization between the Koreas as a basis for a stable juridical framework for all forms of mutually beneficial exchanges, leaving aside the unsolvable contest for regime legitimacy.
Abstract
As a divided country with an indispensable right to unification, Korea exists in status quo of two states, originating from the split into two intransigent and irreconcilable systems. Axiomatically, national joining with systemic oneness is not possible, excluding a hybrid of two orders in one national country. Until one of the two systems disappears, both states should arrange with each other for good neighborly relations in the interest of peace, cooperation and a future democratic unification. That demands for the time being a rational modus vivendi of coexistence between the two states, with mutual recognition of their sovereign equality, independence and integrity. Of great importance is a decision to solve all Korean problems between the two Korean sides themselves, based on a feasible new Basic Accord; a pragmatic peace agreement; understandings on armaments reduction and enhanced mutual security; and expanding intergovernmental and economic cooperation. The sunshine policy failed to put due emphasis on the major necessity: an interstate normalization between the Koreas as a basis for a stable juridical framework for all forms of mutually beneficial exchanges, leaving aside the unsolvable contest for regime legitimacy.
