The International Relations of the Korean Peninsula in the late 1970s : The Political Process of the Realignment of the Alliances and the Reversal of Detente

本文通过充分利用20世纪70年代末美国和韩国关于朝鲜半岛半岛问题的外交文件，探讨了卡特政府决定从朝鲜半岛完全撤出美国地面部队和朴正熙政府通过发展核武器寻求军事自主的政策决定导致美韩同盟关系不稳定的政治过程。此外，我还探讨了缓和的逆转，卡特政府决定暂停美国地面部队的撤离，这是由于1975年越南共产党统一和1976年的“斧头谋杀事件”导致南北紧张局势加剧的影响。最后，探讨了朴正熙政府根据1973年6月23日《和平统一外交总统特别声明》，积极努力推动包括苏中在内的共产主义国家外交关系的<rd>改善。换句话说，朴正熙总统已经尝试了被认为是下届政府开始应对的“北方政策”外交。

By making the most of the diplomatic documents of both USA and South Korea, regarding the Korean Peninsula late in 1970s and, I have explored the political process of the instability of US-Korea Alliance due to Carter administration's decision of complete withdrawal of US ground forces and Park Chung Hee administration's policy decision searching for military autonomy by developing nuclear arms. Moreover I have explored the reversal of detente in which Carter administration decided to suspend the withdrawal of the US ground forces influenced by North-South tensions increase due to the Vietnamese communist unification in 1975 and 'Axe Murder Incident' in 1976. At last, I have explored that Park Chung Hee administration has earnestly tried promoting the diplomatic improvement between communist countries including USSR and China according to the June 23^<rd> Presidential Special Statement regarding Peaceful Unification Diplomacy in 1973. In other words, President Park Chung Hee had already tried such the 'Nordpolitik' diplomacy that the following administration was regarded to begin to tackle with.
