Even as the issue of travel restrictions was rejected and bilateral economic initiatives were continued or expanded. + +Brown (2013) pioneered the documentation of pragmatic resistance in L2 Korean learners. His research revealed that a myriad of factors such as identity and personal beliefs, can influence a learner's pragmatic decisions. + +The role of pragmatism South Korea's foreign policy + +In this time of uncertainty and changes, South Korea's Foreign Policy needs to be bold and clear. It should be ready to defend its principles and pursue the public good globally, such as climate changes, sustainable development and maritime security. It must be able to demonstrate its influence globally through delivering concrete benefits. However, it has to be able to do this without compromising its stability within the country. + +This is a challenging task. South Korea's foreign policy is hindered by domestic politics. It is important that the government of the country manages these domestic constraints to promote public trust in the direction and accountability for foreign policies. It is not an easy task because the structures that facilitate foreign policy formation are diverse and complicated. This article examines how to handle these domestic constraints in order to establish a consistent foreign policy. + +The current administration's focus on a pragmatic partnership with like-minded allies and partners is likely to be a positive development for South Korea. This approach can help counter the advancing attacks on GPS on a values-based basis and create space for Seoul in order to engage with nondemocracies. It could also help enhance the relationship with the United States which remains an essential partner in advancing a liberal democratic world order. + +Another issue facing Seoul is to retool its complex relationship with China the nation's largest trading partner. While the Yoon administration has made progress in the development of multilateral security architectures such as the Quad, it must balance these commitments with its need to keep relations with Beijing. + +Younger voters appear to be less influenced by this view. This new generation is also more diverse, and their worldview and values are evolving. This is evident in the recent rise of Kpop and the increasing global appeal of its exports of culture. It is too early to know if these trends will impact the future of South Korea's foreign policy. However it is worth keeping an eye on. + +South Korea's diplomatic and pragmatic approach to North Korea + +South Korea must strike a delicate balance in order to protect itself from rogue states and avoid being entangled in power struggles with its large neighbors. It also needs to think about the trade-offs that are made between interests and values, particularly when it comes down to aiding non-democratic nations and collaborating with human rights defenders. In this regard, the Yoon administration's diplomatic and pragmatic approach to North Korea is a significant departure from previous governments. + +As one of the most active pivotal nations in the world, South Korea needs to engage in multilateral partnerships as a way of establishing itself within global and regional security networks. In its first two-year tenure, the Yoon Administration has actively boosted bilateral ties and increased participation in minilaterals as well as multilateral forums. These initiatives include the Korea-Pacific Islands Summit, and the Second Asia-Pacific Summit for Democracy. + +These efforts may appear to be tiny steps, but they have allowed Seoul to leverage new partnerships to further promote its views regarding global and regional issues. For instance, the 2023 Summit for Democracy emphasized the importance of reforms and practice in democracy to address issues such as corruption, digital transformation and transparency. The summit also announced the launching of $100 million worth of development cooperation initiatives for democratic governance, including e-governance as well as anti-corruption initiatives. + +In addition, the Yoon government has actively engaged with organizations and countries with similar values and priorities to further support its vision of an international security network. These include the United States of America, Japan, China and the European Union. They also include ASEAN members as well as Pacific Island nations. These actions may have been criticised by progressives for being lacking in pragmatism or values, but they can help South Korea build a more solid toolkit for foreign policy when dealing with states that are rogue like North Korea. + +However, GPS' emphasis on values could put Seoul in a strategic bind when confronted with trade-offs between values and interests. For instance the government's sensitivity towards human rights activists and its inability to deport North Korean refugees who have been accused of committing crimes could lead to it prioritizing policies that appear undemocratic at home. This is especially true when the government is faced with a situation similar to the case of Kwon Pong, a Chinese advocate who sought asylum in South Korea. + +South Korea's trilateral co-operation with Japan + +In the midst of rising global uncertainty and a fragile global economy, trilateral cooperation between South Korea, Japan, and China is a bright spot for Northeast Asia. The three countries have common security concerns regarding the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, but they also share a strong economic interest in establishing a secure and safe supply chains and expanding trade opportunities. The return of their highest-level annual meeting is a clear indication that the three neighbors are keen to promote closer economic integration and cooperation. + +The future of their partnership However, their relationship will be determined by a variety of factors. The issue of how to handle the issue of human right violations committed by the Japanese or Korean militaries within their respective colonies is the most urgent. The three leaders agreed that they would work together to address the issues and create an inter-governmental system for preventing and punishing violations of human rights. + +Another major issue is how to balance the three countries' competing interests in East Asia, especially when it comes to ensuring international stability and addressing China's growing influence in the region. In the past, trilateral security cooperation has often been hampered by disputes regarding territorial and historical issues. These disputes are still present despite recent signs of pragmatic stabilization. + +The summit was briefly shadowed, for example, by North Korea's announcement that it would launch a satellite at the summit and by Japan's decision, which was received with protests from Beijing to extend its military exercises with South Korea and the U.S. + +The current situation provides an chance to rejuvenate the trilateral relationship, however it will require the leadership and reciprocity 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 relief in a turbulent future. In the long term If the current trend continues, the three countries will be at odds with respect to their respective security interests. In that case the only way for the trilateral relationship to endure will be if each country can overcome its own domestic barriers to peace and prosperity. + +South Korea's trilateral cooperation with China + +The Ninth China, Japan, and Korea Trilateral Summit concluded this week with the leaders of South Korea and Japan signing a number tangible and significant outcomes. They include the Joint Declaration of the Summit and a Statement on Future Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, and a Joint Vision on Trilateral Intellectual Property Cooperation. These documents are notable for setting out ambitious goals that, in some cases are in opposition to Seoul and Tokyo's cooperation with the United States. + +The goal is to create an environment of multilateral cooperation to the benefit of all three countries. The projects will include low-carbon transformations, new technologies for an aging population and collective responses to global challenges such as climate changes as well as food security and epidemics. It would also be focusing on strengthening people-to -people exchanges, and establishing a three-way innovation cooperation center. + +These efforts will also help improve stability in the region. It is important that South Korea maintains a positive relationship with both China and Japan particularly when faced by regional issues such as North Korean provocation, escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and Sino-American rivalry. A deteriorating relationship with one of these countries could lead to instability in the other, which would negatively impact trilateral collaboration with both. + +It is important however that the Korean government makes an explicit distinction between bilateral and trilateral engagement with one or the other of these countries. A clear distinction can help to minimize the negative effects of a conflicted relationship with either China or [www.pragmatickr.com](https://pragmatickr.com/) Japan on trilateral relations with both. + +China is largely seeking to build support among Seoul and Tokyo against protectionist policies in the next U.S. administration. This is evident in China's focus on economic cooperation. Moreover, Beijing is likely hoping to stop security cooperation with the United States from undermining the importance of its own trilateral economic and military relationships with these East Asian allies. Therefore, this is a strategic move to counter the growing threat of U.S. protectionism and establish a platform for countering it with other powers. \ No newline at end of file
