PRINTED IN CANADA GST No. R108161779 Recycled Paper Papier Recycl6 ABSTRACTS South Korea's Foreign Policy and Future Security: Implications of the Nuclear Standoff Me1 Gurtov South Korea's foreign policy was significantly recast under the "Northern Policy" of Roh Tae Woo and the "new diplomacy" of Kim Young Sam. Spurred by rapid economic development and progress in democratizing politics, South Korea looked to break from policies dominated by the cold war and the major powers. Its initial successes, including accords reached in 1991 with North Korea on denuclearization and reconciliation, were significantly undermined by the ensuing controversy over Pyongyang's nuclear program. This article explores the setbacks that the nuclear dispute caused to South Korea's unification policy and its relations with the major powers, especially the United States. North Korea effectively used the nuclear card to enhance its legitimacy, deflect absorption by the South and deter the U.S. nuclear option. Nevertheless, in the aftermath of the dispute, opportunities exist to build on the US.-North Korea "Agreed Framework" and strengthen the peninsula's and regional security. Working from a "common-security" framework, the article proposes a number of ways -such as changes in U.S.

Policy shifts of the post-apartheid period not only necessitated new visions for the future but also new structures. The creation of a value-based new identity in foreign policy needed to be accompanied by a transformation of institutions relevant for the decision-making process in foreign policy. Looking at foreign policy in the era of President Mbeki, however, it becomes obvious that Max Weber’s observation that “in a modern state the actual ruler is necessarily and unavoidably the bureaucracy, since power is exercised neither through parliamentary speeches nor monarchical enumerations but through the routines of administration”,* no longer holds in the South African context.
