基于地区形势认识模式，东北亚地区合作应对核灾难

具有地缘政治学上特殊关系的韩中日三国,在核安全及应对核灾难时,不该仅仅从本国利益出发,而应该从区域公共财产的层面考虑问题。福岛核辐射事件呼吁三国加强区域合作的紧急需要。应对核灾难的东北亚地区合作,不是仅从简单的多变合作关系框架出发,而是为了保证作为地区公共财产安全的核安全,作为地区形势认识模式,提出了系统而具体的核灾难应对模式,提出了将制度性框架和具体合作方案进行系统联结的理论模式。基于Endsely的地区形势认识模式,地区形势认识模式由认识-理解-预测这三个阶段组成。在实践层面,地区形势认识模式可以被应用为建设系统而具体的东北亚应对核灾难的合作机制。为了构筑基于地区形势认识的东北亚合作体系,首先要在保证三国合作连续性的政治意志,其实要设定围绕地区合作方向性的竞争结构及与其他地区的关系,最后,为确保三国合作的有效性,有必要设立更加具体而有约束力的制度措施。     

The Role of Leaders in Intra-Alliance Bargaining

This article develops a theory about the role of leaders in long-term international bargaining, specifically in the context of negotiations within existing military alliances. The international relations literature suggests that domestic opposition (to cooperation on a particular issue) increases a state’s bargaining power vis-á-vis its negotiating partner. This study confirms that domestic opposition to cooperation generally increases a state’s bargaining power at the international level, but it suggests that domestic opposition to the state’s leader – which affects the leader’s vulnerability – does not have a uniform effect on the country’s bargaining power. It demonstrates the central role a state leader plays in international bargaining and explains the dynamics of alliance negotiations left unexplained in the literature. In order to examine the argument, this study uses “structured, focused comparison” of the U.S. alliances with Japan and Spain.
