dc.description.abstractContemporary global nuclear non-proliferation regime suffers from internal and external challenges where the regional and political fragmentation of the member states deteriorates the effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of middle powers in the non-proliferation regime through the case study of South Korea, then suggest pertinent policy measures to advance the middle power capacity and contribution to strengthening the regime. To this end, this paper first examines the theories relevant to the concept and adopts the three-level role theory model for the analysis. The following chapter delves into the history and structure of the non-proliferation regime, before analyzing the key issues of the contemporary landscape and the resolvable potential of middle powers against these challenges. Subsequently, this thesis analyzes South Korea as a nuclear middle power based on the established framework and its three criteria to verify South Koreas status as a nuclear middle power and evaluate its performance within the domain of international nuclear non-proliferation. This paper concludes with policy recommendations to consolidate South Koreas nuclear middle power status and bolster its capacity to contribute in strengthening the non-proliferation regime.-
dc.description.abstract최근의 국제 핵비확산 레짐은 회원국들의 정치적, 지역적 분열로 인해 대내외적으로 적지 않은 문제점을 보이고 있다. 본 논문의 주요 목적은 현대 국제 핵비확산 레짐의 주요 문제들과 한국의 사례 분석을 통해 레짐 내 중견국의 역할에 대해 연구하는 것이다. 또한, 이를 토대로 국제 핵비확산 레짐 강화와 중견국으로서의 역량을 증진 시킬 수 있는 정책 제언을 모색하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 본 논문은 가장 적합한 분석 모델 채택을 위한 중견국 이론과 역할론에 대한 이론적 논의를 행하였다. 이러한 논의를 참조하여, good international citizen, supporter of multilateralism, supporter of international nuclear order 라는 세가지 축을 중심으로 한 three-level 분석 틀을 설정하였다. 이어서 국제 핵비확산 레짐의 역사적 형성 과정과 핵비확산 전략 및 구조, 그리고 레짐 내 최근 문제점들에 대한 중견국의 역할에 대하여 분석하였다. 다음 장에서는, 앞에서 설정된 분석 틀에 입각하여 원자력 중견국으로서의 한국의 역량 평가와 기여 성과에 대해 실증적으로 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 본 논문은 사례 분석의 결과를 토대로 한국이 원자력 중견국으로서의 위상과 역량을 강화하고, 나아가 국제 핵비확산 레짐 강화에 더 효율적으로 기여할 수 있는 정책 방안들을 제시하였다.-
