The Republic of Korea has a liberal democratic political system. South Koreas political foundation resides in the sovereignty of the people and the responsibility to maintain every citizen’s welfare. Currently the president of South Korea is Park Geun-hye. The 11th and first female president was elected on February 25th, 2013. With Korea’s limited 5 year presidency she has until

The government structure of North Korea has its existence in one man, Kim Jong Un. It existed in his father, Kim Jong Il, before him, and in his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, before him. North Korea has one of the few successful hereditary dictatorships based on a personalistic regime where the leaders are worshipped as almost a deity (after Kim Il-sung’s death he was made “eternal president”) creating a dynastic transfer of power (Aoki, 2012). In China the one party of the Chinese Communist Party will rule as an Authoritarian body over the nation, but in North Korea the sole power rest dangerously in the arms of one person. Some of the reason for this dissimilarity between the two government structures lies in the country’s differing political cultures.

After all accusations that North Korea made against the South Korea, the U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has backed South Korea’s call for North Korea “to come forward with the facts about this act of aggression and above all, stop its belligerence and threatening behaviour.” U.S President Barack Obama made a decision according to South Korea concern adopting a newly aggressive military attitude towards its neighbour; he had directed military commanders to work with South Korean troops to make sure readiness and to deter future aggression from North Korea.

→ President Reagan had basic ideas about the danger of appeasement and the evils of communism. He regarded South Korea as a stalwart ally and a valiant symbol of resistance to communism. Therefore, Reagan ignored President Chun’s record of antidemocratic activities (p.113). In Reagan’s view, Chun resembled former President Park in terms of his strong political leadership, anti-Communist commitment, and emphasis on economic advancement. Also, Reagan administration was satisfied with the consolidation of a stable situation under President Chun (p.116).

In September of 1947, the United Nations General Assembly organized a commission to supervise elections with the purpose of setting up a “national government of Korea”. The Soviet Union opposed the presence of the commission in the north and the communists boycotted the election, so elections were held in the south. The United States backed Syngman Rhee’s representation of conservative factions and he was elected. In the north, Kim Il Sung rose to power and conformed to the Soviet model of politics. After the UN sponsored the elections, the United States and USSR pulled their forces out of the south and the north. The United States persuaded the UN to establish a special commission, the United Nations Commission on Korea (UNCOK) , to

President Rhee, with the United Nations forces on the offensive, wanted to take this opportunity to reunite the two countries into one unified Korea with himself as the leader. Popular opinion from the U.S. and UN was on his side and the decision to fight on was made. On October 7, 1950, the UN’s mission was changed from containing the North Korean army above the 38th Parallel to pushing them and Communism out of the Korea once and for all. U.S. President Harry S. Truman was still cautious about the new decision and was worried that the war would spread. He gave General MacArthur new instructions to destroy the North Korean Army as long as the Soviet and Chinese armies did not enter the war. Truman also required MacArthur to use South Korean

allies and interests, resulting in the stationing of U.S. forces in South Korea and Japan. However, it has also been the subject of a policy experiment. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have tried to engage Pyongyang in order to improve relations and end its objectionable behavior. That policy, albeit politically controversial, particularly during the Clinton administration, is probably here to stay, not just because its attraction has been compelling to a cross-section of mainstream Democrats and Republicans, but also because political trends in Northeast Asia, particularly the ongoing rapprochement between North and South Korea, only reinforce the logic of engagement. The key question for the new administration is how it should shape its diplomatic policy towards North Korea to further U.S. interests in a region possibly transitioning away from the cold war confrontation of the past five decades to some unknown status.

President Grover Cieveland gived Li Hung-Chang a very warm welcome. Immediately the Chinese ambassador made plans for a grand gesture of some sort. He thinked about several ideas. Finally, he decided on a huge dinner party at the Chinese embassy the following evening.

Kin Jong-un stepped into the spotlight in 2011, when he inherited the position of the leader of North Korea from his father. Ever since, he’s been causing a stir in the global community. But who is Kim Jong-un?

When I was young between 21 and 27 years old, I met many people including former presidents of the South Korea, minsters of the South Korea, foreign nation’s presidents, from whom I learned and watched a variety of leadership styles.

At the end of World War II, Korea was a poor former agricultural colony of Japan. But the rapid growth of Korea’s industrial economy has been remarkable. The economy of South Korea is now the third-largest in Asia and the 13th largest in the world by GDP as of 2007. To trace back the economic development of South Korea, the former president Park Chung-Hee played a pivotal role, and was credited for shifting its focus to export-oriented favoring a few large conglomerates. Unlike his predecessors, Park showed a strong commitment to economic development, believing good economic performance as a primary means for enhancing his political legitimacy. Under the President Park Chung-Hee’s era, the government played a dominating role in a
