ABSTRACT

This research delves into North-Korea policy and foreign policy of America affecting directly or indirectly North-Korea policy of South-Korea since the Korean Peninsula has been segmented based on mainly ‘political realism’. Since 9.11 attacks, a political realism as standing of ‘just war’ assertive legitimacy of ‘use of force’ gains strength as a righteousness. However, a reason that this thesis interests political realism of America is because of taking affect of christian social ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr. That he has contributed for political realism of America is that has supported by theological theory war, violence, and foreign problems one of the sharp debates in international real. His christian realism affects to oppositional discourse for unification is for theological right with conquestism or triumphalism. But it is a resultant that does not understand his thought. Hereto, this thesis studied critically his main thought ‘christian realism’ within understanding his main conceptions ‘love and justice’, and especially studied misunderstandings to ‘use of force’ within christian realism in Korean churches. This resultant suggests threes: to ‘theology of reconciliation’(ethical righteousness) over ‘political theology’(use of force); to ‘balance of power’ in ‘US-centrism’; and to ‘God’s grace’ of ‘trans’ history in order to find a way escapable from enlarge-reproduction of opposition and confliction, nervous and fear due to segregation is not to be enlarge righteousness of ‘use of force’ but to beware of ‘self-interest and corruptibility of force’ and to take sanction methods.
