Abstract
This dissertation sets out to examine the prospects for security and
peaceful coexistence on the Korean penisula. It must be noted that the research for
the main points of this dissertation was largely completed in 1989-1990, and was
based largely on materials available at that time. Since then, the world's political
picture has changed substantially. The fall of Communism in the Soviet Union and
the great changes in Eastern Europe have therefore meant that some of the
assumptions, particularly those concerning North Korea and its external support,
are no longer as valid as they were when the research for this dissertation was
undertaken. In spite of this, the internal engine of North Korean policy on the
Korean peninsula remains almost unchanged and may remain that way until the end
of Kim II Sung's regime.
