초록/요약
This paper deals with the inter-state tensions in Northeast Asia by examining the current territorial and historical disputes of the region and makes several recommendations based on soft power to resolve the disputes. It maintains the following central arguments. First, the means to success for peace and co-prosperity in Northeast Asia is soft power. Although the concept of soft power was first coined and further developed by Harvard University professor Joseph S. Nye as "the means to success in world politics"for the United States, it can be applied to resolving the current disputes in Northeast Asia. It can help cure chronic diseases that Northeast Asian countries have been suffering. Second, a way of increasing and wielding soft power, Northeast Asian countries should: 1) promote human contact and cultural exchange, 2) mobilize the mass media, 3) increase economic cooperation, and 4) encourage NGOs'' activities and mature civil societies. This will promote greater understanding, developing a shared vision of the future, and pursuing common interests in the region. Third, the current bilateral or multilateral disputes cannot by any means be resolved completely through governmental-level diplomatic negotiations or international law alone. Therefore, as mentioned above, NGOs and other non-state actors should play important roles of easing the inter-state tensions in Northeast Asia.
