남남갈등의 스펙트럼과 논점들: 현실론적 고찰

Abstract

The South-South conflict belongs to a different level from the conservatism-progressivism. The former is concerning in the national security fields, and the latter is in the fields of the outlook on the world and social development. The two must be under consideration separately. To solve the inner conflict in the South the causes of conflict and the grounds of arguments should be clarified.Political orientations of the South- South conflict are based on subjective images of good-evil on Kim Jong-il regime, not on the rational judgment on the current situation and future of North Korean society. Some has very idealist views that appeasable warm sunshine will arrange all in good order because the nature of Kim Jong-il and NK society is good, and the others has very realistic views that carrot and stick should be used together, preparing for the worst case because the nature is evil. That is, there is clash between idealistic view and realistic. In idealistic eyes with a merciful and tolerant heart, the power regime of NK is also good, on the other hand in realistic eyes in the law of the jungle that the strong prey upon the weak, Kim Jong-il regime is also the axis of evil. There is no doubt that Kim Jong-il regime could reform the policies and system and participate the world community, at the same time it goes without saying that the NK regime could go on exploit the people. However national policy must be on the lines of realistic views, because it should be to avoid the worst case, not to pursue the best. In this monograph the disputed points of conflict, such as approach methods, views on the present and future situation of NK, ‘national collaboration’, and sunshine policy, is reviewed from the essential viewpoints of universality and actuality. South-South conflict in Korean society could come to the mutual consensus, and ravel out.
