Theoretical Approach and Conflict Resolution Alternatives in the Conflicting Korean Situation

The paper attempts to analyze conflicting Korean situation and find conflict resolution alternatives in application of international theories and models. In describing these, the paper focuses on theoretical review and its application related to conflicting Korean situation, mainly as concerns military issues. Then, the concern is to consider conflict resolution alternatives in application of the related international theories and models in the situation of Korean conflict. On the whole, the international theories - rational choice theory, game theory, theory of interdependent decision, negotiation theory, bargaining theory, and prospect theory - are analytically reviewed. The models of rational model, action-reaction process model, stimulus-response model, punishment model are also looked over. They are to contribute theoretically to find rational value-maximizing mode of behaviors and actions for producing cooperation and positive sum game in the action-reaction process based upon rationality and rational choice with an expectation of getting gains and benefits, and loss-averse at least in the situation of Korean conflict.
