Developing a Law and Global Governance Approach to Korean Unification and
IV. Conclusion
From the South’s perspective, seeking greater utilization of the existing global framework presupposes a greater level of engage- ment with the North. There is obviously much to be said about refraining from such engagement until all outstanding security issues are fully addressed. To be absolutely clear, this chapter does not suggest that those efforts should in any way be sidelined or suspended. In fact, in the same way that a law and global governance approach requires the settlement of agreements with clearly articulated expectations, engagement with North Korea makes no sense without clearly defined, and clearly addressable, security assurances.
However, to suspend all engagement with North Korea until such assurances are absolute is not only unrealistic but more importantly, unproductive. Such an approach stems from a zero-sum international relations theory that is becoming largely irrelevant in an interconnected, interdependent, and therefore inter-accountable world. Seeking and promoting greater North Korean involvement in the emerging global order leads to greater predictability, and therefore greater stability in the
region.30 This is not only because greater order leads to greater stability, but more importantly, because it is far more consistent with the world as it is than the world as it was.
30 It also provides the South with additional opportunities to strengthen its leadership role in the region.
