| Research Abstract |
This study tries to define the concept of engagement based on international relations theories and clarify the theoretical features, basic assumptions, the content of policies and limits and problems of respective policies of Japan, the United States and South Korea. It also typologies respective engagement policies toward North Korea based on the common theoretical framework called engagement.
Next, this study tries to answer the two following why questions. First, it explores why each country conducts different kind of engagement (or other policies) toward North Korea. Secondly, it also explores why each country changes the content of respective engagement policies toward North Korea. This study found out that those interactions between leaders' perceptions and domestic politics in each country matter.
