蘇聯의 아시아 集團安保協力體制의 構想과 戰略 = Soviet Asian Policy: Collective Security and Cooperation in Asia

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Under Mikhail Gorbachev the Soviet Union has been taking steps to reshape her own economic structure for the better productivity and to improve her bilateral relations with capitalist countries for the better international environment.
The tight state control on the Soviet economy and society has been greatly reduced and a number of drastic diplomatic initiatives taken to promote cooperation with former adversaries of the West: Behind all these steps, a set of new concepts such as 'perestroika', 'glasnost' and 'new thinking foreign policy' has been operating.
The recent Moscow's proposal made at the international conference held in Vladivostok on September 10, 1990 is one of those steps. In that proposal the foreign minister of the Soviet Union stressed again the significance of those new concepts and put emphasis on humanism and peace in the forthcoming era. In so doing, he expressed his country's willingness to play an active role in Asia and suggested an international forum to be held whereby all Asian countries can participate in a discussion to resolve regional tensions and advance multilateral cooperation in various fields.
Needless to say, this proposal is not a new one. It is rather another version of a series of previous proposals whose main objective is to set up an Asian version of CSCE which has been instrumental in reducing tensions in Europe and promoting East-West European cooperation. As European experiences have clearly demonstrated, CSCE proved to be an effective mechanism through which such complicated issues as human rights, confidence building measures and economic cooperation could be dealt with multilaterally and collectively.
Since the United States has been taking position that the European experiences can not be duplicated in Asia due to the present security arrangements and the complex nature of the bilateral relations among the nations in the region, the prospect for 'all-Asian forum' is not bright in the near future. However, growing number of Asia-Pacific nations who pay more attention to Moscow's proposal and the Soviet willingness to make more concession in the region imply that some kind of regional mechanism for security and cooperation may not be impossible after all.
The Republic of Korea who is now trying to incorporate Korean peace structure within the framework of Northeast Asian peace structure should look into the changing foreign policies of the regional powers in Northeast Asia and also be prepared to play an active role in the regional politics of Asia.
