DiplomaticPragmatic Korea and Northeast Asia The diplomatic deescalation between Japan and South Korea tensions in 2020 has brought attention on economic cooperation Even when the dispute over travel restrictions was rejected and bilateral economic initiatives were continued or grew Brown 2013 pioneered the study of the phenomenon of pragmatic resistance in L2 Korean learners His study found that a variety of variables such as identity and personal beliefs can affect a learners practical decisions The role of pragmatism in South Koreas foreign policy In these times of change and flux South Koreas foreign policies must be clear and bold It should be ready to defend its values and pursue the public good globally like climate change sustainable development and maritime security It must also possess the capacity to expand its global influence through tangible benefits However it has to do so without jeopardizing its stability within the country This is a difficult task Domestic politics are the primary obstacle to South Koreas foreign policy and it is essential that the presidency manages these domestic constraints in ways that increase confidence of the public in the direction of the country and accountability of foreign policies It is not an easy task as the structures that support the formulation of foreign policy are varied and complex This article focuses on how to manage these domestic constraints in order to establish a consistent foreign policy South Korea will likely benefit from the current governments focus on a pragmatic relationship with allies and partners who have similar values This can help to counter progressive attacks against GPS its valuesbased foundation and open the way for Seoul to interact with nondemocratic nations It will also strengthen the relationship with the United States which remains an important partner in the development of the liberal democratic world order Seouls complicated relationship with China which is the countrys largest trading partner is another issue While the Yoon administration has made progress in establishing multilateral security structures like the Quad it must be mindful of the need to maintain the economic ties with Beijing Longtime observers of Korean politics point to ideology and regionalism as the primary factors in political debate younger voters are less influenced by this outlook This new generation has more diverse views of the world and its worldview and values are changing This is reflected in the recent rise of Kpop and the growing global appeal of its cultural exports Its still too early to tell how these factors will impact the future of South Koreas foreign policy It is worth keeping an eye on them South Koreas pragmatic and diplomatic approach to North Korea South Korea faces a delicate balance between the need to combat threats from rogue states and the desire to avoid being entangled into power games with its major neighbors It must also be aware of the tradeoffs between interests and values especially when it comes to assisting human rights activists and interacting with nondemocratic countries In this respect the Yoon administrations diplomatic and pragmatic approach to North Korea is a significant departure from previous governments As one of the most active pivotal states South Korea must strive for multilateral engagement as a way to position itself within a global and regional security network In the first two years of office the Yoon administration has actively strengthened bilateral ties with democraticallyminded allies and increased participation in minilateral and multilateral forums These initiatives include the first KoreaPacific Islands Summit and the second AsiaPacific Summit for Democracy These efforts may seem like small steps but they have positioned Seoul to leverage its newfound alliances to advance its views on global and regional issues Highly recommended Website for Democracy for example emphasized the importance and necessity of democratic reform and practice to deal with issues such as corruption digital transformation and transparency The summit also announced the implementation of 100 million worth of development cooperation projects for democracy such as egovernance and anticorruption efforts The Yoon government has also engaging with organizations and countries that share the same values and priorites to support its vision of the creation of a global security network These include the United States of America Japan China and the European Union They also include ASEAN members and Pacific Island nations Progressives may have criticized these activities for being lacking in values and pragmatism However they can assist South Korea develop a more robust toolkit to deal with rogue countries such as North Korea GPSs emphasis on values however it could put Seoul in a difficult position if it is forced to decide between interests and values For instance the governments sensitivity towards human rights activism and its inability to deport North Korean refugees who have been accused of criminal activities could lead to it prioritizing policies that seem undemocratic at home This is particularly true if the government has to deal with a situation like that of Kwon Pyong the Chinese activist who sought asylum in South Korea South Koreas trilateral cooperation with Japan In the midst of increasing global uncertainty and a shaky world economy trilateral cooperation between South Korea Japan and China is an optimistic signpost for Northeast Asia The three countries have common security concerns regarding the threat of nuclear war from North Korea but they also share a major economic concern over establishing a an efficient and secure supply chain and expanding trade opportunities The resumption of their highestlevel annual meeting is a clear indication that the three neighbors would like to promote closer economic integration and cooperation However the future of their alliance will be tested by a number of issues The most pressing is the issue of how to tackle the issue of human rights violations allegedly committed by the Japanese and Korean militaries in their respective colonies The three leaders agreed to work together to solve these issues and to develop a common procedure for preventing and reprimanding human rights abuses Another issue is how to find a balance between the competing interests in East Asia especially when it comes to ensuring international stability and addressing Chinas growing influence in the region In the past trilateral security cooperation has frequently been stifled by disagreements about territorial and historical issues These disputes are still present despite recent signs of a pragmatic stabilization For example the meeting was briefly shadowed by North Koreas announcement that it would attempt to launch a satellite during the summit and by Japans decision to extend its military drills with South Korea and the US This prompted protests from Beijing The current circumstances offer a window of chance to rejuvenate the trilateral relationship but it will require the leadership and cooperation of President Yoon and Prime Minister Kishida to bring it to fruition If they fail to do so then the current trilateral cooperation could only provide a temporary respite in a turbulent future If the current trend continues in the long run the three countries may encounter conflict with each other over their security concerns In that case the only way for the trilateral relationship to endure will be if each nation is able to overcome its own national challenges to peace and prosperity South Koreas trilateral cooperation with China China The Ninth China Japan and Korea Trilateral Summit concluded this week with the leaders of South Korea and Japan signing numerous tangible and significant outcomes The Summits outcomes include a joint Declaration a Statement on Future Pandemic Prevention Preparedness and Response and an agreement on Trilateral Intellectual Property Cooperation These documents are noteworthy because they set highlevel goals which in some cases may be contrary to Tokyos and Seouls cooperation with the United States The aim is to establish an environment of multilateral cooperation that is to the benefit of all three countries The projects would focus on lowcarbon transformations new technologies to help an aging population as well as collective responses to global challenges like climate change epidemics and food security It will also focus on enhancing exchanges between people and the establishment of a trilateral innovation cooperation center These efforts would aid in ensuring stability in the region It is crucial that South Korea maintains a positive partnership with both China and Japan particularly when confronted with regional issues such as North Korean provocation escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait and SinoAmerican rivalry A weakening relationship with one of these nations could lead to instability in the other that could negatively impact trilateral cooperation with both It is important however that the Korean government draws an explicit distinction between bilateral and trilateral engagement with one or the other of these countries A clear distinction will minimize the negative impact a strained relationship between China and Japan could have on trilateral relations China is primarily seeking to build support among Seoul and Tokyo against protectionist policies under the upcoming US administration This is reflected in Chinas focus on economic cooperation Furthermore Beijing is likely hoping to prevent security cooperation with the United States from undermining the importance of its trilateral military and economic ties with these East Asian allies Thus this is a strategic step to combat the growing threat of US protectionism and establish a platform for countering it with other powers
