Diplomatic-Pragmatic Korea and Northeast Asia
The diplomatic de-escalation of Japan-South Korean tensions in 2020 has focused attention on economic cooperation. Even though the dispute over travel restrictions has been rebuffed by the government, bilateral economic initiatives have remained or expanded.
Brown (2013) pioneered the recording of resistance to pragmatics among L2 Korean learners. His research found that a variety of factors, including personal identity and beliefs can influence a student's practical choices.
The role of pragmatism lies in South Korea's foreign policy
In these times of change and flux, South Korea's foreign policy must be bold and clear. It should be ready to defend its principles and

It should also be able to project its influence globally by delivering tangible benefits. But, it should do so without compromising its domestic stability.
This is a challenging task. Domestic politics are the primary impediment to South Korea's foreign policy and it is crucial that the leadership of the president manage these constraints domestically in ways that promote public confidence in the direction of the country and accountability of foreign policies. This isn't an easy task, as the underlying structures that support foreign policy development are complex and diverse. This article will discuss how to deal with these domestic constraints in order to establish a consistent foreign policy.
South Korea will likely benefit from the current government's emphasis on a pragmatic partnership with allies and partners that share similar values. This can help to counter the advancing attacks on GPS on a values-based basis and allow Seoul to be able to engage with nondemocracies. It could also help strengthen its relationship with the United States, which remains an essential partner in the advancement of the liberal democratic world order.
Seoul's complicated relationship with China - the country's biggest trading partner - is a further problem. The Yoon administration has made significant progress in establishing multilateral security structures like the Quad. However, it must weigh this effort against its need to maintain economic ties with Beijing.
Younger voters appear to be less influenced by this viewpoint. This new generation is more diverse, and their worldview and values are changing. This is reflected in the recent rise of K-pop, as well as the increasing international appeal of its cultural exports. It's too early to know if these factors will influence the future of South Korean foreign policy. However they are something worth paying attention to.
South Korea's diplomatic-pragmatic approach towards North Korea
South Korea must strike a delicate balance in order to protect itself from rogue states and avoid getting drawn into power struggles with its large neighbors. It also has to consider the balance between interests and values particularly when it comes to supporting human rights activists and interacting with non-democratic countries. In this respect the Yoon government's diplomatic and pragmatic approach to North Korea is an important change from previous governments.
As one of the most active pivotal countries in the world, South Korea needs to engage in multilateral engagements to position its self within global and regional security networks. In its first two years, the Yoon Administration has actively strengthened bilateral ties and has increased participation in minilaterals as well as multilateral forums. These initiatives include the first Korea-Pacific Islands Summit, and the second Asia-Pacific Summit for Democracy.
These efforts might seem like small steps, but they have positioned Seoul to leverage its newly formed partnerships to spread its opinions on regional and global issues. The 2023 Summit for Democracy, for example, emphasized the importance and necessity of democratic reform and practice to address issues like digital transformation, corruption, and transparency. The summit announced $100 million in development cooperation projects that will help support democracy, including anti-corruption and the e-governance effort.
In addition, the Yoon government has been actively engaging with countries and organizations with similar values and priorities to further support its vision of the creation of a global security network. These include the United States, Japan, China and the European Union, ASEAN members, and

However, GPS' emphasis on values could put Seoul in a difficult position when faced with the dilemma of balancing values and desires. For instance the government's sensitivity towards human rights activists and its reluctance to deport North Korean refugees who have been accused of committing crimes may lead it to prioritize policies that are not democratic at home. This is especially true if the government faces a scenario similar to that of Kwon Pong, who was a Chinese advocate who sought asylum in South Korea.
South Korea's trilateral cooperation with Japan. Japan
In the midst of increasing global uncertainty and a shaky global economy, trilateral collaboration between South Korea, Japan, and China is a bright spot for Northeast Asia. The three countries share an interest in security that is shared with the nuclear threat from North Korea, but they also share a major economic interest in establishing a an efficient and secure supply chain and expanding trade opportunities. The return of their highest-level annual meeting is a clear sign that the three neighbors would like to promote closer economic integration and co-operation.
The future of their relationship, however, will be tested by several factors. The most pressing issue is the question of how to tackle the issue of human rights violations committed by the Japanese and Korean militaries in their respective colonies. The three leaders agreed to cooperate to address these issues and develop a common procedure for preventing and reprimanding human rights abuses.
Another challenge is to find a compromise between the competing interests of the three countries of East Asia. This is crucial when it comes to maintaining stability in the region as well as dealing with China's increasing influence. In the past the trilateral security cooperation has frequently been stifled by disagreements over historical and territorial issues. These disputes are still present despite recent signs of a more pragmatic stabilization.
The meeting was briefly overshadowed by, for example, North Korea's announcement to launch a satellite at the summit, as well as Japan's decision, which was opposed by Beijing, to extend its military exercises with South Korea and the U.S.
The current circumstances offer an opportunity to revitalize the trilateral partnership, but it will require the leadership and cooperation of President Yoon and Prime Minister Kishida to make it a reality. If they do not and they don't, the current trilateral cooperation could only be a temporary respite in an otherwise rocky future. In the long term in the event that the current pattern continues, the three countries will find themselves in conflict over their shared security interests.
