Abstract

While US-North Korea talks are stalled after the Hanoi Summit in February 2019, we are recently witnessing the easing of tension and opposition in the Korean peninsula. In particular, the promotion of peace and cooperation through inter- Korean and U.S.-North Korea meetings leads to a heightened expectation for changes in the border of the Korean peninsula as a frontline of conflict. While the border between the two Korean still serves as a barrier to interrupt free movement and cooperation, the recent literature stresses border and boundary as a place where various spatialities contest one another beyond a fixed view on territoriality. This so-called post-territorialist view has built on a new epistemology to note the complexity and multilayeredness of territory as well as the porosity of border. Existing border policies on the Korean peninsula can be considered as an attempt to ‘defer’ the modern territoriality to a limited extent under the goal of national unification. The recent geopolitical shifts in the Korean peninsula and consequent border policies demonstrate a momentous attempt to overcome this modern territoriality. Nevertheless, to go beyond the geopolitical condition structured by national security and territorial logics cannot be realized at the local scale through border policies, but it should be approached in the context of geopolitical debordering at the multiple scales around the Korean peninsula.
