The Korean peninsula is a theatre for great power rivalry and politics. In addition, North Korea poses a major security threat to regional peace and stability, and inter-Korean conflict is more likely than ever. Despite the same ethnicity, the two Koreas exhibit difference in terms of their respective political, military, economic, and social systems which shape the security and stability of the Korean peninsula. The course is designed as an introduction to the politics, external relations and security policy-making of the two Koreas, and is divided into three parts: North Korea; South Korea; and Inter-Korean Relations.
