“…The intentions of President Kim Il Sung of North Korea from the very beginning were to reunite the Korean Peninsula under his leadership and the communist ideology. With that objective, North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25, 1950, which sparked the Korean War 5 that lasted until 1953 (Cumings, 2011;Haruki, 2017;Hastings, 2020;Sandler, 1999). The war transformed both Koreas into enemies with the war ending with an armistice rather that a peace agreement.…”

International relations theory tends to be characterized by a dichotomy between those who emphasize international constraints with regards to grand strategy and foreign policy decisions, most often associated with realist theories of international relations, and those who emphasize domestic factors, most notably liberal theories. These two approaches are often framed as if they were incompatible. This article attempts to contribute to bridging the gap by examining the presidencies of Syngman Rhee and Park Chung Hee of the Republic of Korea. A comparison between the two presidencies reveals very different political visions for the Republic of Korea. However, it also shows very contrasting grand strategy and foreign policy options under similar international constraints. This is consistent with neoclassical realist theory and the idea that grand strategy and foreign policy are fundamentally determined by international pressures but nevertheless are also influenced by domestic-level factors.
