Korea's Foreign Policy in the 21st Century
저 자 명 : Lee Sung-kon

Introduction
One can not analyze and develop the strategy of any nation's security without taking 
into account its history and present reality. Historically, Korea has been ceaselessly 
exposed to threats from surrounding powers and has been frequently victimized by 
those nations' power struggles. Even after its liberation from the Japanese colonial rule 
as a result of the end of World War II, Korea was thrust into the middle of the Cold War 
between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. 
During the Cold War period, the division of the Korean peninsula and the subsequent 
confrontation between the two Koreas conditioned Korea's strategic thinking. For South 
Koreans, North Korea and the Communist camp behind it were the only visible enemies, 
and deterring North Korean aggression was the single most important strategy. 
The end of the Cold War, however, has changed the overall security situation in 
Northeast Asia. The bloc-to-bloc ideological confrontation of the past has ended. 
Nevertheless, the Korean peninsula had often been described as "the last bastion of the 
Cold War" due to acute confrontation between the two Koreas at least until the interKorean
summit talks, which will most certainly cause changes in the Korean foreign 
policy environment. Korea's foreign policy directions are based upon three dimensions: 
Korean peninsular; Northeast Asian; and global dimensions.
