초록
Although it is too early to understand all the implications of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America, it is clear that the campaign against terrorism will influence domestic and international policies in the United States and many other countries, including the two Koreas. The most notable consequence of the terrorist attacks has been the building of a loose coalition of countries to seek and destroy the perpetrators. In this coalition, South Korea has played a relatively minor role. North Korea has formally condemned the terrorist act, but not supported the coalition, and by failing to provide more convincing support against terrorism, North Korea has further isolated itself in the international community. The anti-terrorism campaign has diverted American attention from Korean matters, further slowing the momentum of inter-Korean relations. If terrorism continues to be high on the international agenda, the two Koreas will have to adopt policies that more clearly define themselves in terms of the anti-terrorism campaign, and continue their dialogue despite events outside the peninsula.
Abstract
Although it is too early to understand all the implications of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America, it is clear that the campaign against terrorism will influence domestic and international policies in the United States and many other countries, including the two Koreas. The most notable consequence of the terrorist attacks has been the building of a loose coalition of countries to seek and destroy the perpetrators. In this coalition, South Korea has played a relatively minor role. North Korea has formally condemned the terrorist act, but not supported the coalition, and by failing to provide more convincing support against terrorism, North Korea has further isolated itself in the international community. The anti-terrorism campaign has diverted American attention from Korean matters, further slowing the momentum of inter-Korean relations. If terrorism continues to be high on the international agenda, the two Koreas will have to adopt policies that more clearly define themselves in terms of the anti-terrorism campaign, and continue their dialogue despite events outside the peninsula.
