 Reunification Policy
Claims that the sunshine policy is compromising national attitude on security are unfounded, as is the misunderstood version of the sunshine policy as a policy of unreciprocated cooperation underlying such criticism.
A policy able to proceed with mutual cooperation without relaxing security, it is unquestionably the best policy adaptation to the changing security environment of the post-Cold War era, one that is expected to sweep the peninsula clean of the last reminders of the Cold War.
Separation of political and economic issues is the standard for the execution of the sunshine policy, and the government commitment to the standard and the principles of the policy itself is not subject to fluctuation..

 Sunshine policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Sunshine policy was introduced by Kim Dae Jung in order to underline the peaceful management of the division of the Korean pensinsula.
The Sunshine policy is based on the belief that the regime under Kim Jong Il in the north will not collapse or disintegrate in the near future.
Supporters of the policy, however, argue that it is not a failure of the Sunshine policy, but the tough stance by the US administration.

 >The Government of the People's Sunshine Policy toward North Korea and Plans for Implementation
The Sunshine Policy is the mainstay of the Republic of Korea's North Korea policies aimed at achieving peace on the Korean Peninsula through reconciliation and cooperation with the North.
With the Sunshine Policy, the Government hopes to engage Pyongyang and lead it to a "soft-landing" on the road to permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Washington is pursuing a policy of engagement and intervention in the region in an effort to neutralize North Korean hostility toward the outside world and induce it to a soft landing in a peaceful world.

 Lexington Herald-Leader | 10/21/2006 | 'Sunshine policy' less loved now in S. Korea
Their attitudes changed markedly under the "sunshine policy" launched in 1998 by former President Kim Dae-jung, which fueled investment in impoverished North Korea and helped defuse the fear that the Korean Peninsula might be at war once again.
A prominent political scientist, Nam Sung-wook, said he expected the policy "to expire in the near future" because it had failed to halt North Korea's nuclear quest.
The sunshine policy dramatically increased the exposure of South Koreans to North Korea, and many South Koreans came to believe that they were forestalling North Korea's economic collapse and setting the pace for eventual orderly reunification.

South Korean policy towards North Korea is of course multifaceted and designed to accomplish multiple objectives including the maintenance of stability, the avoidance of war, the provision of humanitarian aid, the facilitation of family reunions, and others.
However it is useful to remember that the inspiration for the sunshine policy was not simply a benignly smiling “happy face” but rather the highly normative contest between the wind and the sun in Aesop’s fable in the effort to convince a traveler to remove his cloak.
The underlying policy difference is that the United States remains convinced that the current crisis cannot be solved by inducements alone, but only by the simultaneous multilateral application of both pressure and inducements, whereas to date, South Korea has eschewed any consideration of pressure as too risky.

The 23-year-old psychology student was a passionate defender of the "sunshine policy," Kim's platform of engage- ment with North Korea.
Sunshine is the last chance for the lame-duck president to shore up his legacy (his nonrenewable term ends in early 2003).
The sunshine policy was supposed to coax Pyongyang out of its shell, normalize relations between the North and South and perhaps even bring about reunification.

The basic assumption of the government's Sunshine Policy is that North Korea's aggressive behavior, including development of weapons of mass destruction, all is the result of a sense of insecurity.
The dogmatic application of the Sunshine Policy has also contributed to a sharp division of opinion among citizens, on an issue in which public support is vital.
Therefore our policy, whether we call it conditional engagement or any other name, should in the short term be as much a peaceful coexistence strategy as a unification strategy.

 Korea Times: Sunshine Policy Moderates Hardliners in NK
Kim's policy is made under the assumption that over the long run, North Korea will have no alternative but to undertake reform and accommodate the South, according to the U.S. Rand Research Institute.
It added that antagonistic policy toward the South is still an essential component of North Korea's insistence that it and not the South, has legitimacy as a state.
Origin of Sunshine PolicyAccording to President Kim, his trademark Sunshine Policy is nothing new, as it is modelled after former U.S. president Richard Nixon's Detente Policy to China and former West German chancellor Helmut Schmit's East Policy (toward former East Germany).

Pinning a foreign policy to a blind faith in dialogue is like assuming that Saddam Hussein wouldn't have developed weapons of mass destruction if the U.S. had simply been endlessly patient and babblative with him.
Kim has to show for "sunshine" is a confession by Pyongyang that it has lied repeatedly to Seoul, Tokyo and Washington about giving up its nuclear ambitions.
Bush chooses to do this by economic blockade or by military action, any reading of his foreign policy would conclude he is committed to ridding the world of rogue regimes that threaten international stability.

 Asia Times: Bush drizzles on Kim's sunshine
The hawks' skepticism about Kim's Sunshine Policy was bolstered last week when he signed on to a joint communique with visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin which declared that the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty should be inviolable.
The statement, which was seen as a deliberate slap at one of the new administration's top foreign-policy priorities, confirmed previously-held views by hard-liners that Kim was either dangerously naive or that his interests in pursuing engagement with the North were not consistent with Washington's larger strategic objectives.
But I believe the President is on a policy that has got peace as its goal and peace as its intentions; and with the right alliance and the right formulation of policy, hopefully, it will achieve the peace that we all want.

 IEA: Monetary and Fiscal Policy Sunshine Act
This policy was primarily responsible for well over half of the total increase in federal debt (and deficits and interest cost) from 1973 to '93, and thus also largely responsible for the false assumption that we "couldn't afford" vital public investments and services.
Since 1993, the budget-balancing policy of the Clinton Administration, and the many technological and competitive factors tending to reduce business costs have helped to reduce the trend rate of inflation.
However, Fed monetary policy is still managed on a largely judgmental, ad-hoc and secretive basis, and Greenspan's successor may not be so astute.

The idea that under the Left's Sunshine Policy, the South would instead respond to the North's aggression and provovation with BRIBES for more aid on the other hand IS appeasement.
A strong part of the Sunshine Policy is that it purs a lot of capital into the North, in many ways keeping the government there somewhat more stable.
The Sunshine Policy also marks the relevance of the role of the South as it offers direct help in maintaining the North's infrastructure, at times this has included the North's nuclear program.

Meanwhile, 47.5 percent said Seoul needs to drastically modify its North Korea policy or even scrap it as a way to reinforce economic sanctions on the communist state.
Political scientists were a little surprised by the results since public opinion on this matter is split almost 50-50, contrary to their initial expectation that the North's nuclear test on Oct. 9 might have angered South Koreans, consequently raising the number of sunshine policy opponents.
Some 52.2 percent of the respondents in their 20s and 55.4 percent in their 30s said Seoul needs to maintain the sunshine policy, while 58 percent in their 50s and 60.3 percent in their 60s said it should be scrapped or suspended.

 Shadow over the sunshine policy | The World | The Australian
SOUTH Korea's "sunshine" policy of coaxing its neighbour to behave better was under a dark cloud after North Korea conducted its nuclear test yesterday, analysts said.
Peter Beck, Northeast Asia director of the International Crisis Group, said the failure of Seoul and its allies to co-ordinate strategies towards Pyongyang was partly to blame for the shock nuclear test.
Mr Beck and other analysts said the sunshine policy itself had not failed but rather the failure to co-ordinate strategies toward the North was to blame.

U.N. Security Council's recent resolution condemning North Korea's nuclear ambitions has not only ratcheted up tensions in the region, it is forcing South Korea to rethink its "sunshine policy" of peaceful engagement with the North.
President Bush's inclusion of North Korea in his 2002 "axis of evil" speech was understood by many as an unwelcome intrusion into South Korea's domestic politics and an attempt to undermine the sunshine policy.
Try as they might, the South Koreans, and increasingly their government, are finding it impossible to pretend that sunshine is the best policy.
