Level of Analysis and Inter-Korean Relations: Unraveling Complex Dynamics

Abstract

Historical, political, and sociocultural forces have long moulded the complex dynamics that characterise interactions between Koreas. The complexity of these relationships is examined in this research through the use of a level of analysis approach. In order to provide a thorough knowledge of the dynamics impacting inter-Korean relationships, this study applies many levels of analysis, including the individual, state, and systemic levels. The article examines how influential figures, both individually and collectively, shape inter-Korean policies and efforts. At the state level, the study looks at how internal politics in North and South Korea affect relations between the two Koreas. The study examines the larger regional and global framework that inter-Korean interactions function within on a systemic level. It takes into account the dynamics of regional security, including the existence of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula, as well as the impact of nearby nations like China, Japan, and the United States.
