The Taliban Factor in the Republic of Korea`s Afghanistan Strategy = The Taliban Factor in the Republic of Korea`s Afghanistan Strategy

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Years of hiding of the Taliban and its comeback in 2006 forms a potential and real challenge to the Republic of Korea`s Afghanistan Strategy. Based on different standpoints, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Taliban both have different recognitions of the main contradictions in the three stages between each other. The first stage (2002.July2007), contradictions of anti-terrorism and terrorism activities and reconstruction and anti-reconstruction activities (ROK`s view) and anti-invasion and invasion (Taliban`s view); the second stage (July 2007. end of2009), contradictions of safeguarding and abusing of human rights (ROK) and defending and opposing Islam (Taliban); Third stage (end of 2009 to present),contradictions of assuming and opposing its responsibility to its allies and the international community (ROK) and maintaining and disdaining Pashtu tribal honors (Taliban). While there are complicated contradictions between the ROK and the Taliban and no great progress in the U.S. Afghanistan strategy, it is very hard for ROK to put its Afghanistan strategy into further practice.
