인정투쟁에서 상호취약성의 인정으로 전환하는 남북민간개발협력의 방향 = Recognition of Mutual Vulnerability in the NGO’s Development Cooperation between Two Koreas

국문 초록 (Abstract)

"본 연구는 남북관계를 자신의 우월성을 인정받으려는 ‘인정투쟁’ 의 관계라고 가정한다. 그리고 남과 북이 과거의 교류협력을 각각다르게 기억함으로써 인정투쟁이 증폭되었다는 해석을 시도하고그 대안을 탐색한다. 본 연구는 ‘상호인정’을 남북관계가 추구해야할 규범이라고 시론 차원에서 제시한다. 그 규범을 통해 남북관계의 특성을 해석하고, 규범을 실행할 수 있는 가능성을 탐색한다.
본 연구는 남과 북의 교류협력 중에서 다양한 실험과 새로운 시도가 어느 정도 용인되는 민간의 인도적 지원과 개발협력에 주 관심을 둔다. 이런 관심을 국제개발협력에 관한 논의에 적용하여 참여자들의 상호인정이 개발협력의 구성적 규범인 것을 설명한다. 그리고 남과 북이 인정투쟁을 지속하고 있다는 가설을 수립하고, 인정투쟁이 남북관계의 과거를 해석하고 미래를 전망하는 데 큰 장애가 되고 있음을 밝힌다. 마지막으로 인정투쟁을 지양하고 상호취약성의 인정을 지향함으로써 남북이 공유할 수 있는 전환기 협력모델을 공동으로 탐색할 것을 제안한다."

"This study understands that the struggle for recognition has long been involved in inter-Korean relations. Two Koreas are struggling to be recognized as more legitimate and supreme on the Korean Peninsula by international community and the other party. As the South and the North is strongly eager to acquire recognition, recognition struggle has been working as a primary source of conflicts as well as a catalyst for development. In order for two Koreas to cooperate, especially in civic arenas, they should quit or at least reduce struggle. Recognition struggle fuelled by rigid self-evaluation will deplete and destroy both sides. Practically feasible and morally valid option is to purse the recognition of mutual vulnerability, whereby both accept that they are vulnerable to each other’s aggression and have their own weaknesses. In so doing, they will be able to reduce conflicts and promote cooperation. Then, they may come to engage in joint investigation of a transitional model ‘after’ capitalism and socialism. As capitalism in South Korea has reached its highest and lowest point, it tries in some sectors to implement social economy, which has been taken by some industrialized societies as a way to ameliorate the contradictions of capitalism. South Korea can expand this framework and propose it to North Korea as a shared model. They also can find some common ground in achieving SDGs in their own soil and across the Peninsula. This shift concurs well in development ethics highlighting that mutual recognition among cooperators is a constitutive norm of cooperation. Recognition of mutual vulnerability and cooperation becomes more salient as two Koreans experience its own vulnerability to common crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change."
