Item Embargo A poliheuristic analysis of South Korea’s responses towards North Korea’s missile tests(Routledge, 2023-12-16) Dengiz, PelinThe North Korean missile program has gained undeniable momentum in the twenty first century, highly sensitive to dialogues within the region. One could argue South Korea is accustomed to these repetitive launches splashing into the Pacific Ocean, at times nearing two dozen in a year, but the republic has its sets of policy alternatives when responding to the neighbor’s aggression. To understand South Korea’s decision-making mechanism, I utilize the ‘Poliheuristic Theory’ developed by Mintz. A decision matrix consisting of three policy alternatives (passive by-standing, reaching out, joint drills) is applied to three crisis moments from 2013, 2017, 2022. Primary and secondary sources like defense ministry press releases and news reports are used for data collection. The North’s tests are closely observed by the South but usually not responded to provocations. When South Korea decides to respond, the tendency is to carry the issue to the international audience by citing U.N. Convention, Armistice Agreement, etc. The presence of the U.S. military in the peninsula plays a crucial role, as seen from the remarkably increased tests after the U.S. declared it would lessen military involvement. Several domestic and regional criteria (the Sunshine Policy, eventual unification possibility, U.S. military presence, asymmetrical capabilities, regional status quo) has possible influence over leaders’ responses. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Item Open Access The "Dominos" that need to fall into place for a reunification of Korea: making sense of a United Korea(Routledge, 2013) Harvey, M.; Kiessling, T.; Moeller, M.With the death of North Korea leader Kim Jong-il, the level of uncertainty will dramatically escalate in an already highly uncertain market. The question becomes, is there a market opportunity for Western organizations, and when should Western organizations attempt to enter North Korea? In addition, there is a large question looming over the potential changes in the country, that being, if and when reunification with South Korea will occur. This article examines the potential of a unified market on the Korean peninsula.Item Restricted İzzet Arslan'ın anılarıyla: Kunuri Muharebeleri(Bilkent University, 2020) Aydemir, Selver Sıla; Yiğit, Hüma; Gergerli, Güven; Şahin, Doğa; Erman, Nur26-30 Kasım 1950 tarihleri arasında Kore Savaşı'nda gerçekleşen Kunuri Muharebeleri, Kore'ye giden Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri'nin ilk muharebeleridir.
