Military Predominance Politics' Influence To Korea Diplomat

Military predominance politics' influence to Korea diplomatIn the book The Origins of Major War, Dale C., Copeland has proposed such a point of view. When a nation, which is suffering from the irreversible economic depression, but still makes military force building, is faced with other nations that may present threat to it, it will appeal to the war. This means to gain the initiative by striking first, which is called the military predominance thought. In the past more than a decade, the serious economic depression has badly threatened the political power of Korea. Therefore, Korea carried out the military predominance politics and proposed the military predominant thought and the powerful nation strategy which centered on the military.The ideological basis and strategic culture of the Korean political power epitomizes the thought of gaining military predominance by building the powerful military force. From Chairman King il-Sung to General Kim Jong il, they always took the military development as the top priority and regarded the army as the strong point and basically force to maintain the political and social steady and the foreign policy of Korea. Kim Jong il once said that in order to gain a firm foothold in the rough global waves and play an important role in the complex and multiplex northeast affairs, Korea must put the national defense building in the first position among the national construction, make the military work the guide of all the work and regard the military task as the center that all the other tasks should obey and around.It is essential for Korea to carry out the military predominant politics and greatly develop the military power. Internally, it is helpful for Korea to enhance the overall strength of the country and ease domestic crisis. Externally, it is helpful for Korea to improve the relationship with the other countries, raise the international position in Asia and even the whole world and enhance the power of discourse in the world. In the meanwhile, it breaks the power balance of the northeast area, and enhances the power of foreign negotiation with the United States and the right of saying in uniting the Korean Peninsula.
