AB - This study aims to derive policy directions in fostering the unification of the Korean Peninsula by comparative method of the relations between the unification and the external environment in the Three Kingdom period and the post-Three Kingdom period. One of the key factors which made Silla and Goryeo achieve unification is to pursue the Good Neighbor policy as well as build a favorable environment. The main parts of the Good Neighbor policy differed on the characteristics of the international system.
Silla practiced the Good Neighbor policy towards the Tang Dynasty under the Tang Dynasty-centered unipolar system. This policy made Silla promote the military alliance with the Tang Dynasty and it led Silla to unify the Korean Peninsula. In contrast, under a multipolar system, Goryeo reunified the Korean Peninsula focusing on practicing the Good Neighbor policy toward countries within the Korean Peninsula.
Recently, mutual cooperation and conflicts are coexisting in Northeast Asia, changing from the US-centered unipolar world order to a multipolar order. This study suggests that Korea needs to create an amicable international environment through promoting economic cooperation with China and Russia, while simultaneously maintaining the Korea-US alliance. And the Korean government especially has to practice a ‘trust-first’ policy for making significant progress on South-North Korean relations.
