한국의 핵비확산 외교와 원자력정책 = South Korea’s Nuclear Non-proliferation Policies and the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

South Korea should pursue a strong nuclear non-proliferation policy as well as safe and credible policy of peaceful use of nuclear energy. Recent trends show that international requirements for nuclear non-proliferation are getting tougher, including U.S. non-proliferation policies. South Korea, as a country with severe energy shortage, must expand its use of nuclear energy. However, North Korean nuclear crisis continues to pose threats to such endeavors. And South Korea should renegotiate the Korea-U.S. Nuclear Cooperation Agreement which expires in 2014.


First, South Korea should take opportunities such as Second Nuclear Security Summit to raise its reputation as a strong proponent of nuclear non-proliferation. Second, South Korea should strengthen its efforts to acquire international community's confidence on its compliance credibility. Third, South Korea should enhance its nuclear diplomacy vis-á-vis international community. Fourth, South Korea should formulate national nuclear strategies that correspond to international trends in non-proliferation and peaceful use of nuclear energy. In particular, it is critically important to coordinate South Korea's nuclear policy with that of the United States. Fifth and finally, South Korean government must support its nuclear industries to get competitive edge in international nuclear energy market.
