The skepticism over unification in South Korea can be classified into three types: unification apathy, unification unease, and unification unilateralism or offensive unificationism. While the anxiety concerning unification cost and the disorder and misery that may accompany unification are important causes of both unification apathy and unification unease, the overwhelming influence of anti-Communism on all the spheres of our lives and the sense of ‘North Korea abhorrence’ which has been amplified by the war experience and the recurrent North Korean provocation have maintained unification unilateralism. In order to solve the misunderstanding about unification cost, the 'division cost' and unification benefit should also be included in the calculation of it. In addition, for a successful response to the unification skepticism, it is necessary to strengthen and vitalize the unification education both at schools and in society. Especially in order to resolve the problems unification unilateralism poses in our society, we must find ways to weaken and dilute the division culture that has preserved the division system.
Abstract
The skepticism over unification in South Korea can be classified into three types: unification apathy, unification unease, and unification unilateralism or offensive unificationism. While the anxiety concerning unification cost and the disorder and misery that may accompany unification are important causes of both unification apathy and unification unease, the overwhelming influence of anti-Communism on all the spheres of our lives and the sense of ‘North Korea abhorrence’ which has been amplified by the war experience and the recurrent North Korean provocation have maintained unification unilateralism. In order to solve the misunderstanding about unification cost, the 'division cost' and unification benefit should also be included in the calculation of it. In addition, for a successful response to the unification skepticism, it is necessary to strengthen and vitalize the unification education both at schools and in society. Especially in order to resolve the problems unification unilateralism poses in our society, we must find ways to weaken and dilute the division culture that has preserved the division system.
