The de-escalation in tensions between Japan and South Korea in 2020 has brought the focus back to economic cooperation. Even as the dispute over travel restrictions was rejected, bilateral economic initiatives continued or expanded.
Brown (2013) was the first to identify pragmatic resistance among L2 Korean learners. His research found that a myriad of factors, including identity and personal beliefs, can influence a learner's pragmatic decisions.
The role of pragmatism in South Korea's foreign policy
In this time of change and flux, South Korea's foreign policy needs to be bold and clear. It should be ready to defend its values and pursue the public good globally including climate change as well as sustainable development and maritime security. It should also be able to project its influence globally through delivering concrete benefits. It must, however, be able to do this without jeopardizing the stability of its domestic economy.
This is a challenging task. South Korea's foreign policies are hindered by domestic politics. It is important that the government of the country can manage these internal constraints to increase public confidence in the direction and accountability for foreign policy. It is not an easy task,

South Korea will likely benefit from the current government's focus on a pragmatic partnership with allies and partners who have similar values. This approach can help counter the growing attacks on GPS on a values-based basis and create space for Seoul in order to engage with non-democratic countries. It will also strengthen the relationship with the United States which remains an essential partner in advancing the liberal democratic world order.
Another challenge for Seoul is to improve its complicated relationship with China as the country's biggest trading partner. The Yoon administration has made significant progress in establishing multilateral security structures such as the Quad. However, it must be mindful of its need to maintain economic ties with Beijing.
While long-time observers of Korean politics point to ideology and regionalism as the primary drivers of the political debate, younger people are less influenced by this outlook. This new generation has a more diverse worldview, and its worldview and values are changing. This is reflected by the recent rise of Kpop and the rising global appeal of its culture exports. It is too early to tell if these factors will affect the future of South Korea's foreign policy. However they are something worth watching closely.
South Korea's diplomatic-pragmatic approach to North Korea
South Korea must strike a delicate balance in order to shield itself from rogue states and to avoid getting caught up in power battles with its large neighbors. It also has to consider the trade-offs between values and interests, particularly when it comes down to helping non-democratic countries and engaging with human rights activists. 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 participate in multilateral engagements as a way of establishing itself within regional and global security networks. In its first two years in office, the Yoon administration has actively bolstered bilateral ties with democratic allies and expanded participation in minilateral and multilateral forums. These initiatives include the first Korea-Pacific Islands Summit as well as the second Asia-Pacific Summit for Democracy.
These efforts could appear to be incremental steps, but they have positioned Seoul to make use of its new partnerships to spread its opinions on global and regional issues. For instance, the 2023 Summit for Democracy emphasized the importance of reforming democratic practices and practices to address challenges such as corruption, digital transformation and transparency. The summit also announced the implementation of $100 million worth of development cooperation projects for democratic governance, including e-governance as well as anti-corruption measures.
Additionally the Yoon government has been actively engaging with other countries and organizations that have similar values and priorities to support its vision of an international security network. These countries and organisations include the United States of America, Japan, China and the European Union. They also include ASEAN members and Pacific Island nations. These activities be condemned by progressives as lacking in pragmatism and values, but they can help South Korea build a more robust foreign policy toolkit in dealing with states that are rogue such as North Korea.
The emphasis placed on values by GPS, however, could put Seoul in a precarious position when it has to choose between values and interests. The government's concern for human rights and its refusal to deport North Koreans convicted of committing crimes could lead to it, for example to put a premium on policies that are undemocratic in Korea. This is especially true if the government faces a situation similar to the case of Kwon Pong, who was a Chinese advocate who sought asylum in South Korea.
South Korea's trilateral cooperation with Japan
In the midst of global uncertainty and an unstable world economy, trilateral collaboration between South Korea and Japan is an optimistic signpost in Northeast Asia. Although the three countries share a security interest in the nuclear threat posed by North Korea, they also share a strong economic stake in establishing safe and secure supply chains and expanding trade opportunities. The resumption of their highest-level annual meeting is a clear indication that the three neighbors want to encourage greater economic integration and cooperation.
The future of their relationship However, their relationship will be determined by a variety of factors. The most pressing one is the issue of how they can address the issue of human rights violations that have been committed by the Japanese and Korean militaries in their respective colonies. The three leaders agreed to work together to resolve these issues, and to create a joint procedure for preventing and reprimanding human rights violations.
Another important challenge is how to find a balance between the three countries' competing interests in East Asia, especially when it comes to maintaining international stability and addressing China's increasing influence in the region. In the past the trilateral security cooperation frequently been stifled by disputes regarding territorial and historical issues. Despite recent evidence of stability in the pragmatics the disputes are still lingering.
For example, the meeting was briefly shadowed by North Korea's announcement of plans to attempt to launch satellites during the summit, and by Japan's decision to extend its military exercises with South Korea and the U.S. This prompted protests from Beijing.
It is possible to revive the trilateral relationship in the current context however, it will require initiative and cooperation of President Yoon and Premier Kishida. If they fail to take this step, the current era of trilateral cooperation could be only a brief respite from an otherwise turbulent future. In the long run, if the current trajectory continues the three countries will find themselves at odds with respect to their respective security interests. In this scenario the only way to ensure the trilateral relationship to last will be if each nation is able to overcome its own national challenges to peace and prosperity.
South Korea's trilateral partnership with China China
The Ninth China, Japan, and Korea Trilateral Summit concluded this week with the leaders of South Korea and Japan signing several tangible and significant outcomes. These include the Joint Declaration of the Summit, a Statement on Future Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response as well as a Joint Vision on Trilateral Intellectual Property Cooperation. These documents are notable for laying out ambitious goals which, in some cases, run counter to Seoul and Tokyo's cooperation with the United States.
The objective is to develop a framework of multilateral cooperation that is to the benefit of all three countries. The projects would include low-carbon transformations, new technologies for a aging population, and collective responses to global challenges like climate change as well as food security and epidemics. It would also focus on enhancing people-to-people interactions and creating a trilateral innovation collaboration center.
These efforts will also improve stability in the region. South Korea must maintain a positive relationship with China and Japan. This is especially crucial when it comes to regional issues, such as North Korean provocations, tensions in Taiwan Strait and Sino-American rivalry. A decline in relations with one of these nations could lead to instability in another that could negatively impact trilateral collaboration with both.
It is vital however that the Korean government draws a clear distinction between trilateral engagement and bilateral engagement with either of these countries. A clear distinction will minimize the negative effects that a tension-filled relationship between China and Japan could affect trilateral relations.
China's primary goal is to win support from Seoul and Tokyo in opposition to the possible protectionist policies of the next U.S. Administration. This is reflected in China's emphasis on economic cooperation. Additionally, Beijing is likely hoping to stop security cooperation with the United States from undermining the importance of its own trilateral military and economic relationships with these East Asian allies. This is a strategic decision to counter the increasing threat from U.S. protectionism and create an avenue to counter it with other powers.
