북한의 급변사태 이후 효율적인 안정화와 통합전략: 미군의 안정화작전 교훈을 중심으로 = Effective Stabilization and Integration Strategy after North Korean Contingency: Based on Lessons Learned from US Stabilization Operations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research seeks to put forward an effective stabilization and integration strategy applicable after a North Korean contingency. Lessons were drawn from the US military’s stabilization operations. In the event of a North Korean contingency, northeast Asian geopolitics and the particular inter-Korean relations will cause regional crises and also trigger an opportunity for Korean peninsula’s reintegration. Various risks such as third party intervention and internal insurgencies are expected to be faced. South Korea must therefore plan an effective strategy to tackle the various challenges. Stabilization strategy must include the military, diplomatic and administrative considerations. For this purpose, previous stabilization operations can be studied and relevant lessons drawn for North Korea. Factors of stabilization in the US military’s stabilization operations and determinants of Korean peninsula’s stabilization were comparatively analyzed to put forward a stabilization strategy for North Korea.
