| Summary: | Bilateral relations between South Korea and Vietnam have remarkably
improved in the past 25 years, since the normalization of relations in 1992. They have been
acknowledged positively as the result of a successful process of the diplomatic ties.
Meanwhile, it is plausible that conflicting issues were raised while establishing diplomatic
ties because the two countries were hostile during the war in Vietnam. This research
explores the process of normalization, which coincided with their mutual economic and
geopolitical interests in international relations in the decline of socialism and the post-Cold
War era. As Vietnam urgently needed to establish cooperative relations with capitalist
countries, this served as a concession in overcoming the historical legacy of the war. The
process of diplomatic negotiations between South Korea and Vietnam shows that the
foreign policies of small- and middle-power countries are determined not only in
cooperation with their allies but also with some degree of relative autonomy in the postCold War era. |
