Contents Introduction
North Korea is on the brink with both its Dear Leader’s health deteriorating and its economic function faltering. This paper looks into possibility of “Big Bang” on the Korean Peninsula and would-be immediate policy options to be taken by countries which have more or less “big stakes” on the Korean Peninsula. The paper intends to imply that South Korea should pursue a close in-advance cooperation on national reunification with China, USA, Japan, and Russia by proclaiming that a Unified Korea would not side with any particular interest party or parties in sensitive ideologically related international affairs.
