This book brings Korea's finest foreign policy minds together in
contemplating the risks and rewards of finally ending the 70 year
stalemate between North and South Korea through reunification.
While North Korea is in conflict with the United States over
denuclearization and regime security, the South Korean government
is focusing on economic development preparing for the day when the
two Koreas are unified. This book will help scholars, activists and
policy-makers from all over the world systematically understand the
current diplomatic and security issues in the Korean peninsula.
North Korean Foreign Policy: Security Dilemma and Succession, by
Yongho Kim, starts from the point of view that North Korea's
provocations have been motivated more by fear than by her in-born
provocative nature. Kim argues that North Korea's provocative
foreign policy reflects its threat perception stemming from various
security dilemma, and a very real concern regarding another
father-to-son succession. This volume views North Korea's external
and domestic threats as causes and its provocative foreign policy
as an effect of the causes. The security dilemma has impelled North
Korea to generate and thus portray to the world provocative
signals, and the ever-pressing issue of Kim Jong-il's succession
has driven him to prioritize his own political survival over that
of North Korea's state survival. Unless Kim Jong-il's political
survival is guaranteed, North Korea will not be interested in
full-scale introduction of capitalist way of economic reform and
economic package promised by the United States and South Korea in
return for the abandonment of their nuclear program. North Korean
Foreign Policy suggests that an effective policy for countries
relating to North Korea, whether dovish or hawkish, should deal
directly with Kim Jong-il's political survival, and not with
Pyongyang's failed economy.

South Korea offers a timely illustration of the relationship
between social media and national security. Following the country's
democratization in the 1990s and the explosion of communication
technology since the millennium, citizens have joined the
discussion of national interests and ideological conflicts,
involving anti-Americanism, re-unification and North Korea's
provocations. South Korean media have influenced an ideological
divide that distinguishes between young and old, haves and
have-nots, security and nationalism, and pro and anti-North Korean
sentiments. The author describes the effects of trade-offs between
security and civil liberties and how narratives advanced through
social media differ from those reported by traditional news
outlets.
