From “March North” to Nation-Building: The Interplay of U.S. Policy and South Korean Politics during the Early 1960s
Abstract
This paper examines international causes of South Korean dramatic political changes and the accompanying shift in national policy priorities during the early 1960s. Based on declassified U.S. government documents and other primary materials, this paper aims to narrate the interactions between Korean domestic politics and U.S. policy. By doing so, this paper demonstrates that U.S. policy functioned as a structural cause for the change of South Korea’s national policy priorities from unification to economic development.
