Abstract
ABSTRACT While North and South Korea are technically at war, they have attempted to share transboundary resources, including water and fisheries. However, their efforts have never translated into the implementation of cooperation on the ground. This study examines why they consent to cooperation on resource sharing yet fail to implement it. By tracing inter-Korean high-level talks and cooperation efforts from 2000 to 2019, we argue that implementing cooperation agreements has not been successful because of the (mis)alignment of incentives between the two Koreas. We highlight how broader interstate political relations can inhibit further implementing the cooperation in sharing natural resources.
