존슨 정권 후반기의 한미관계: 북한의 대남도발에 대한 한미간의 인식 차이를 중심으로 = The U.S.-Korean Relations in the second half of the Johnson Administration: Dissensions between the two allies toward the North Korean provocations against South Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

During his visit to Korea in November 1966, President Johnson appreciated South Korea’s cooperation to his Vietnam policy.
He reaffirmed to assist to defeat North Korean attack against South Korea. This was the peak and the symbol of a friendly U.S.-Korean relationship, but North Korea began to heighten tensions along the DMZ before and after President Johnson’s visit to Korea. The South Korean Government has agreed to send one light division to South Vietnam on the grounds that this might increase South Korean security against North Korea. But, less than two days after the raid on the Blue House, North Korean forces seized the U.S. intelligence-gathering vessel USS Pueblo on January 23 1968. The U.S. failure to act forcefully regarding the Pueblo incident, and refusal to strike North Korea in retaliation for assassination attempt on President Park, raised questions about the U.S. security commitment. President Park decided not to send any more combat troops to Vietnam, because he came to realize that the U.S. security commitment to Seoul would depend not on Korean hopes and expectations or threat level on the peninsula, but on the perception of high officials in Washington. The two allies, in the end, came to review their own policy each other.
