The Strategy of the Process of Unification between South Korea and North Korea in Dissimilar Administrative and Political Theory

Abstract

The strategy of idealism rather than realism is required to deliver a peaceful solution on the Korean Peninsular. It is needed to understand the dissimilar ideas, theories, and cultures in South Korea and North Korea, which have affected the social, political, and cultural situation. If North Korea wishes to attain economic growth, as a matter of fact, it is requisite to adopt the strategy of socialist market economy, such as the case of China and Vietnam. It is beneficial and effective to apply in whole or part the reform model of China and Vietnam for North Korea, which will contribute to accomplish economic growth for North Korea and to arbitrate the extreme ideological difference between South Korea and North Korea. Strategic transformation and ideological understanding on the Korean Peninsular is essentially required to avoid extremely problematic and violent situation and circumstance. Four alternative unification scenarios described by Pollack & Lee can be explained as the course of the unification between South Korea and North Korea:“(1) integration and peaceful unification; (2) collapse and absorption; (3) unification through conflict; and (4) disequilibrium and potential external intervention.” It is prerequisite to alleviate the ideological difference between South Korea and North Korea for pursuing peaceful unification and integration as the adoption of idealism.
