The Significance of the 9th Party Congress:
Consolidating the Foundations of Permanent Hostile
Coexistence on the Korean Peninsula
|
Hyeong Jung Park, an independent researcher on North Korea, analyzes the broader structural context of North Korea's 9th Party Congress and its strategy for establishing a permanent hostile coexistence between the two Koreas. Dr. Park argues out that the "hostile two-states" approach is a calculated strategy to conceal internal vulnerabilities by keeping tensions with South Korea deliberately high, suggesting that South Korea urgently needs to rethink its traditional strategic approach to the North. |
