3.7, Peking Universitat (School for International Studies), course:
International Securtiy in East Asia, 29 entries in the
bibliography, language: English, abstract: Germany achieved what
Korea still can achieve, namely peaceful unification. There are
several similarities between the divided Koreas and the formerly
divided Germanys. In both cases, the division grew out of the
Second World War and the following Cold War. The divided nations
have totally different systems of government. North Korea, as a
communistic one-party state, is similar to the GDR and South Korea,
as a democratic republic, is similar to the FDR. Major differences
are apparent in the economic development between North and South
Korea, which again corresponds to the situation in Germany at the
end of the 1980s. In light of these similarities, an important
question to answer is the following one: what lessons can the
Korean Peninsula learn from German unification? Thus, this essay
will proceed as follows. Firstly, the developments in Germany,
leading to the opening of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent
unification will be described and analyzed. Secondly, the economic
and socio-cultural outcomes of the unification will be briefly
analyzed. Thirdly, recommendations for the Korean Peninsula will be
formulated and finally, the essay will conclude its findings.
