1970년대 초 박정희의 한반도 평화구상과 자주·통일외교의 모색 = President Jung-hee Park's Diplomacy and Initiatives for the Peace-Building on the Korean Peninsula and the South-North Korea Relations in the early 1970s

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article analyzes, from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, the specific process made in relation to President Jung-hee Park's perception on the change of international affairs surrounding the North East Asia. Furthermore, it tries to reveal the changing attitude of the Korean government toward the North Korean counterpart at this time, aiming at building a peace mechanism in the Korean Peninsula and improving the relations between the two Koreas.
In addition to the remarkable development achieved and the serial epochal measures taken with regard to the South Korean government's foreign and unification policies at this period, it can be greatly estimated that South Korea made efforts and finally began to open wide relations with the Non-Alignment countries as well as the Communist Blocs, putting an end to the hostility with them and establishing mutual recognition as part of enlarging South Korea's independent diplomatic autonomy.
In his speeches given in the early 1970s, President Park showed a willingness to abandon the Hallstein Doctrine and hinted an intention to change his government's policy toward North Korea -- a policy to reduce tension and keep peace around the Korean Peninsula. Though South Korean authorities discussed in advance with the U.S. government the matter about the direction of South-North dialogue, it turns out that President Park and South Korean officials played a key role in accomplishing the detente in the Korean Peninsula, in particular in producing the Joint Statement between the two Koreas on the 4th, July, 1972.
