ABSTRACT

21th Century, the environment of security is very diversity in a depth and rang of it’s change. In the difference of the period of Cold War when the international security was concentrated in the sectors of military issue, nowadays, attention is being paid to non-military security, namely : economic security, technology(commerce) security, environment security, energy security and human security... With theses changes of concept in the field of security, the national strategic alliance is emphasize and developed. Especially, one of the new and important issues to be considered concerns energy security. With regards to the importance of energy security, this work is to examine minutely the background and process of EURATOM, created in 1957, through of the view in the Atlantic relation. EURATOM is a good reference to see the both of sides in the development of national economic industry and also regional security. That is to say, EURATOM was could be found and developed by communication between Europe and America, in a moment when Europe was in the serious security crisis, after the fail of EDC(European Defense Community). It is no doubt that EURATOM has three driving forces for it’s development ; Pacifism, Pragmatism and Atlantism. Under such circumstances, EURATOM could be created and developed. In other words, EURATOM was the result of that the european necessity of the economic growth and security met the american necessity for control and prevent the development of nuclear weapon. This work seems to give the significant implications and suggestions for the establishment of peace in Asia, specially, in this time when the Korean Peninsula is being under the security crisis due to the provocations of nuclear weapon.
