1998年以後韓國政府的對北政策之研究

Abstract

韓國歷屆政府以「統一」為目標以及為了增進兩韓間各方面的交流、對話，但對於持續挑釁的北韓，要採取包容政策還是強硬政策一以來是韓國政府所面臨的困難。

針對北韓韓國的兩個政黨立場截然不同：保守派的認知為北韓就是威脅韓半島的對象，因此重點著重於減少威脅韓國的因素，必要時會採取武力的應對；但自由派的立場就是試著去包容北韓，以對話的方式來解決問題。

本論文從南北關係有最大進展的1998年金大中政府開始到新上任的尹錫悅 政府，透過每屆政府對北政策執行過程中所發生的主要事件來分析及評價對北政策成果；並進一步以提出更有效、具有可行性及可長期推行之對北政策為研究目標。

In a bid to achieve the goal of “unification” and the promotion of “exchanges activities” between the two Koreas in various aspects, successive Korean governments have promoted different North Korean policies. Nevertheless, it has always been a challenging dilemma for the South Korean government to adopt either an Engagement or a Strong policy toward North Korea when faced with provocative North Korea.

The two political parties in South Korea have contrasting positions regarding North Korea. Conservatives perceive North Korea as a threat to the Korean Peninsula and prioritize reducing the factors that pose a threat to South Korea. If necessary, they may resort to military action. On the other hand, the liberal stance is to try to embrace North Korea and solve problems through dialogues.

This thesis starts from the Kim Dae-Jung government in 1998, when the relationship between the North and the South had made the most significant progress, to the newly inaugurated Yoon Seok-Yeol government. The goal of this thesis is to propose further a more effective, feasible, and long-term implementation of the North Policy by analyzing and evaluating the results of the North policy through the main historical events that occurred in the performance of each government at that time.
