| Summary: | The term and idea of middle power has often been discussed in international
relations contexts after the Cold War. Middle power countries are mostly
countries who were neither big or small in terms of economy, size, population,
and most importantly, influence in the global politic. Middle power countries
diplomacy is called middlepowermanship and it is distinguishable from traditional
diplomacy in which this type of diplomacy is to exercise influence and take
international initiative through international co-operation and regimes in
contemporary issues. Middlepowermanship are often actualized through public
diplomay which became the one foremost characteristic of a middle power.
South Korea is a latecomer to middle power diplomacy, which used to be
dominated by a few conventional and rising middle powers. Eventhough South
Korea has maintained a strong identity as a middle power particularly due to its�
abundant resources in soft power however South Korea hadn�t translated its�
power to a middle power diplomacy until the inauguration of the Lee Myung Bak
administration in 2008. Under the slogan of Global Korea, Lee Myung Bak
employed proactive diplomacy through an implementation of public diplomacy in
order to craft a strong middle power identity which was characterized with active
contributions to international community through a cooperation.
This thesis aims to explore about South Korea�s public identity as a middle
power and its� foreign policy as a middle power which was translated into a public
diplomacy efforts in Lee Myung Bak administration. The thesis also aims to
unfolded more research in the contexts of middle power and its� distinguishable
foreign policy which was based not on overwhelming national powers but rather a
soft powers. |
