ABSTRACT

Recently North Korea continues to assert its position as a nuclear power and escalates military tensions on the Korean peninsula. As the Korean security situations are worsening, it is necessary for the two Koreas to pursue an arms control agreement with each other and to institutionalize a settlement of peace. For the peace of the Korean peninsula, we should be worthy of notice the 3-stage strategic model including passive peace, active peace and perpetual peace. The perspective of active peace is a strategy to solve a current Korean Questions. Active peace strategy is as a part of plans to reduce a possibility of new Korean war and remove a cause of new Korean war structurally. We should prepare to security incentives to clean up North Korean security concerns. Furthermore, we should also prepare to pursue Korean peace treaty with Inter-korean arms control as the security incentives. There are two scenarios which achieve the Korean peace treaty finally such as 2-stage scenario including Inter-Korean basic agreement and 3-stage scenario including Inter-Korean agreement and Inter-Korean peace agreement. Considering the changed security situations around Korean peninsula such as North Korea’s nuclear weapons and severe competitions among Great powers in the North-east Asia, the later 3-stage scenario would be more reliable approach.
