군사통합에 기여하는 북한군 무장해제 성공요인 분석과 대응방안 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the success factors and expected problems in disarming the North Korean armed forces, which may be faced in the case of military integration for the unification of the two Koreas, and come up with countermeasures. Despite the fact that the completion of disarmament has a decisive influence on the success or failure of military integration, the study on disarmament is relatively inferior to the study on military integration. Therefore, this study analyzes the expected problems in disarmament by the military integration of the two Koreas, and suggests countermeasures to overcome these problems, on the premise that the absorption of the North Korean army is led by the Korean army. After analyzing the success factors of disarmament, the analysis examines the cases in the military integration of Germany and the case during the war in Iraq, and suggests lessons learned accordingly. The problems that are expected to arise in the disarmament of North Korean armed forces due to the military integration: first, resistance and armed riot by the North Korean forces; second, conflicts in the acquisition and consolidation of large-scale conventional force; third, the threat of weapons of mass destruction and unrecovered weapons; and fourth, looting and lack of security. Countermeasures in disarming based on success factors of disarmament are suggested: first, to advance preparations; second, to maintain legality; third, to disarm within the shortest period; and fourth, to overcom the conflicts. This paper provides an opportunity to develop practical measures for disarmament by presenting the expected problems and countermeasures in disarming the North Korean armed forces that will be faced in the military integration process.
