The Unification Mythology and Reality of the North–South Divide

The Unification Mythology and Reality of the North–South Divide

Abstract
For six decades, the idea of unification as Korea’s supreme political goal has been enshrined in the official mythology of both North and South Korea. The lip service to this “unification mythology” is still paid by virtually all political forces in both the Koreas, but the actual policy of both Pyongyang and Seoul nowadays is clearly based on a very different set of assumptions: Both sides try to avoid situations which might lead to unification.
