[Working Paper] The History of Conceptual Bifurcation of ‘Peace’ in the Two Koreas
"What are the Prospects of a New, Shared Concept of `Peace`?"

In an effort to illustrate the bifurcation of "peace" on the Korean Peninsula, Young-sun Ha analyzes the evolution of reunification discourses following the Korean War. In particular, his paper focuses on the three concepts--"reunification through war", "reunification through revolution" and "peaceful reunification"—that emphasize differences in the two Koreas’ respective interpretations of peace. Such conceptual bifurcation, accompanied by existing political and economic differences, makes it increasingly more difficult for the two Koreas to realize peace on the Korean Peninsula.
