蘇聯의 對韓半島 政策에 關한 硏究

Abstract

USSR, which had maintained its basic policy that can be depicted as a hostile policy toward S. Korea and the one-sided backing & support policy toward N. Korea, began to epochally convert its policy toward S. Korea since the later part of 1980s. Following the 1st historical summit confernce between S. KOR & USSR in San Francisco, in June, 1990, the President, Gorbachev, visited Jeju Island, in April, 1991, had the 3rd summit confernce between S. KOR & USSR, and agreed in propelling the Treaty of Amity & Cooperation between S. KOR & USSR. In the study, since its intention is to analyse the USSR's positive policy toward Korean peninsula, the USSR's foreign policies toward N. E. Asia have been majorly studied on with regard to spatial terms, and with regard to timely terms, political situations and decisive factors in 1980s, specially since Gorbachev's seizure of power were analysed. In Chapter II , the strategic environment in N. E. Asia, the background of USSR's proceeding into N. E. Asia, and the foreign policies over New Asia & Pacific Ocean were analysed, in Chapter III, the USSR's policies toward N. KOR and S. were comparatively analysed, and in Chapter IV, the influence of the USSR's policy toward Korean peninsula and Korea's political schemes toward USSR were suggested. Since Gorvachev's advent on the stage, as the USSR's policy toward Korean peninsula has epochally changed, the long time stoppage of relation and hostility relation between S. KOR & USSR has converted to the development of cooperative relation, the relation of the long time alliance and tie between N. KOR & USSR has been weakened, and it is a fact that even the relation between them has been worsened, and however, USSR will give effort to maintaining atmost the existing relations with N. KOR, and never give up the relation with N. KOR. USSR, now, is in such situations as severe financial difficulty, conflict and confrontation between revolutionary power and conservative power, and there is even a report that the basis of Gorbachev's power and supreme power are becoming unstable, and however, since the USSR's present policy toward Korean peninsula bases on the USSR's national interest and policy in the first place rather than on any political dispositon for Gorbachev or any particular political group, the USSR's policy toward Korean peninsula as well as the relation between S. KOR & USSR is not expected to show any significant change in a considerable period in the future.
