metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article investigates South Korea’s public diplomacy toward North Korea. The author
  analyzes the factors that determine the choice by a state of a model of public diplomacy
  — cooperative (consultative) or non-cooperative (advocating interests) — in relation to
  a particular foreign society. The key research question: to what extent it is possible to use
  the instruments of public diplomacy in inter-Korean relations, which are distinguished by
  a conflict and highly centralized interactions. The restrictions that prevent the Republic of
  Korea from using public diplomacy in relation to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
  are defined as well as solutions are proposed to overcome the limitations and search for
  opportunities for inter-Korean interaction in the long term. The possibilities of the ROK in
  conducting both cooperative and informational public diplomacy toward the DPRK are rather
  limited. Social and humanitarian exchanges require reciprocity from the North. South Korea’s
  offensive unification rhetoric and politics meets rejection from the DPRK and hinders the
  normalization of inter-Korean relations. The lack of consensus in the ruling circles of the ROK
  on the necessity and content of the broadcasting of “promises” to the North Koreans also
  serves as an obstacle to the implementation of public diplomacy with respect to the DPRK.
  Despite the difficulties and limitations, it would be politically expedient for South Korea to
  continue to search for formats of cooperation with North Korea in the social and humanitarian
  field and to conduct a discourse focused on normalizing inter-Korean relations. The social
  and humanitarian dimension offers promising opportunities for interaction since it is aimed at
  solving practical problems of mutual interest. South Korea’s public diplomacy towards North
  Korea should prioritize the engagement of the DPRK in the transnational links.
