ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA
V. CONCLUSION
In the situation that the risk of war has grown increasingly high on the Korean Peninsula, dreaming a pacifist future appears to be foolish. This study is to raise a pacifist alternative by not only criticizing the problems of a series of traditional security-oriented policy options, but also by proposing a fully denuclearized society in the South Korean civil movements. The pacifist alternatives in the paper are treated as a competing policy option in realizing sustainable peace on the peninsula.
