Contents Introduction

Korea has divided for more than sixty years since its liberation from Japan in 1945. Korea is the only country still in ideological conflict between the North and the South, while in the communist juche state in the North more than three millions have in recent years starved to death in spite of huge economic aids from its rich Southern brethren during the decade. The North leadership uses butter to produce guns. This paper argues which is a short-cut to reunification, the sunshine engagement policy and “malign neglect” policy, once the former has been proven a failure.
