摘要 根據當前朝鮮半島錯綜複雜的安全動態下,本文採取全面性的研究探討南韓應對北韓核武威脅時的戰略決策過程。本文採取守勢現實主義作為理論基礎,分析影響南韓選擇加強延伸威懾的主要因素和限制,並同時強調南韓對美國同盟框架的依賴。本文採取廣泛分析包含南韓對威脅認知、南韓對美國延伸威懾的信任以及東北亞不斷變化的地緣政治格局,以闡述這些變因在韓國安全策略決策上複雜的相互作用。根據研究發現,韓國採取務實手段,即在無政府的國際體系下優先考量與安全同盟合作以應對朝鮮的核武野心。南韓的決策反映了守勢現實主義原則,即在朝鮮半島複雜的安全動態中維護其生存並促進區域穩定。
This comprehensive study delves into the intricate security dynamics surrounding the Korean Peninsula, with a particular focus on ROK’s strategic decision-making processes in response to the nuclear threat posed by DPRK. Through the lens of defensive realism, the study explores the primary factors and constraints influencing ROK's strategic choice to enhance extended deterrence, emphasising its reliance on the US alliance framework. Drawing upon extensive analysis of ROK's threat perceptions, trust in US extended deterrence, and the evolving geopolitical landscape of Northeast Asia, this study elucidates the complex interplay shaping ROK's deterrence strategies. Findings underscore ROK's pragmatic approach, prioritising security alliances and cooperation to address DPRK's nuclear ambitions within the anarchic international system. Ultimately, ROK's decision-making reflects adherence to defensive realism principles, aiming to safeguard its survival and promote regional stability amidst the intricate security dynamics on the Korean Peninsula. Keywords: Defensive Realism, North Korean Nuclear Crisis, ROK-US alliance, Extended Deterrence, Washington Declaration, Security Cooperation, Alliance dynamics

dc.description.abstract (摘要) 根據當前朝鮮半島錯綜複雜的安全動態下,本文採取全面性的研究探討南韓應對北韓核武威脅時的戰略決策過程。本文採取守勢現實主義作為理論基礎,分析影響南韓選擇加強延伸威懾的主要因素和限制,並同時強調南韓對美國同盟框架的依賴。本文採取廣泛分析包含南韓對威脅認知、南韓對美國延伸威懾的信任以及東北亞不斷變化的地緣政治格局,以闡述這些變因在韓國安全策略決策上複雜的相互作用。根據研究發現,韓國採取務實手段,即在無政府的國際體系下優先考量與安全同盟合作以應對朝鮮的核武野心。南韓的決策反映了守勢現實主義原則,即在朝鮮半島複雜的安全動態中維護其生存並促進區域穩定。zh_TW
dc.description.abstract (摘要) This comprehensive study delves into the intricate security dynamics surrounding the Korean Peninsula, with a particular focus on ROK’s strategic decision-making processes in response to the nuclear threat posed by DPRK. Through the lens of defensive realism, the study explores the primary factors and constraints influencing ROK's strategic choice to enhance extended deterrence, emphasising its reliance on the US alliance framework. Drawing upon extensive analysis of ROK's threat perceptions, trust in US extended deterrence, and the evolving geopolitical landscape of Northeast Asia, this study elucidates the complex interplay shaping ROK's deterrence strategies. Findings underscore ROK's pragmatic approach, prioritising security alliances and cooperation to address DPRK's nuclear ambitions within the anarchic international system. Ultimately, ROK's decision-making reflects adherence to defensive realism principles, aiming to safeguard its survival and promote regional stability amidst the intricate security dynamics on the Korean Peninsula.
