ABSTRACT

This paper is to identify the roles of countries in the process of promoting human security and to draw implications for the inter-Korean relations. There is a clear distinction of traditional national security and new human security in purposes, concerns, actors, and ways. For reconstructing inter-Korean relations, alternative approach based on the theory of human security needs to be applied to the Korean Peninsula. The problem is the reality. First, it is necessary to form advantages, create conditions and promote roles between the South and North to reconstruct inter-Korean relations by human security approach. And then, it is appropriate to progressively access to the proper fields after establishing and sharing the vision of promoting the inter-Korea relations based on the theory of human security. The roles of countries including South and North Korea, together with non-governmental organizations, are not only just to survive but also to change their status and roles into the ways to promote human security.
