국문 초록

  대만의 새로운 총통으로 마잉주가 당선되었다. 그의 새로운 정부출범으로 대만과 중국은 새로운 관계를 정립하게 되었다. 전임자 천수이벤의 정책과는 달리, 마잉주는 중국과의 활발한 교류를 통하여 침체된 대만의 경제에 활력을 불어넣을 준비를 하고 있으며, 교류를 통한 안보증진을 도모 하고 있다. 특히 양국 국민들 간의 자유로운 왕래를 통하여 서로 간의 이해를 도모하고 상호 신뢰를 증진시키는 기회를 제공하고 있다. 이러한 마잉주의 정책변화는 한국에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 우선 한국과 대만은 정치구조 및 경험이 유사하기 때문에 상호변화에 상당히 민감하게 대응해 왔다. 이번 마잉주 총통의 대중국 정책변화는 한국에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 즉 그간 중국의 압력에 의해서 별다른 성과를 보지 못했던 한국-대만 간의 교류가 새로운 발전의 전기를 맞고 있다. 한국의 입장에서는 중국과 대만의 관계 개선으로 좀 더 자유스럽게 대만과 교류할 수 있을 것이라는 기대를 하고 있다. 중국ㆍ대만과 모두 좋은 관계를 유지하기를 원하고 있는 한국의 입장에서는 마잉주의 정책변화를 환영하고 있으며, 좀 더 자유스럽고 우호적인 중국ㆍ대만관계를 기대하고 있다.

영문 초록

  The victory of the Kuomintang (KMT) on the Taiwan" presidential election on March 22nd of 2008 and subsequent inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou as the president of Taiwan on May 20th could mark a new watersheds in Taiwan"s overall diplomacy. Ma and his KMT recently started to promote its damaged diplomatic relationship with China: to improve its economic performance by opening to China; and to manage annoyances in Taiwan-U.S. relations by supporting the regional status quo and strategic ambiguity. Recognizing the convicted changes of Ma"s diplomatic and economic overture, Korea welcomes the fresh diplomatic d tentes between Taiwan and China. One of positive repercussions of Ma"s engagement policy toward China is that it helps promoting civilian rapprochement between Korea and Taiwan. Since 1992, when Korea had established diplomatic relations with China, Korea and Taiwan had severed long and traditional bilateral ties. Despite, the bilateral interactions between Korea and Taiwan has consistently been increased not only in terms of trade, but also in terms of tourism. But uncomfortable relationship between Taiwan and China for previous years has kept Korea from freely approaching to Taiwan. Due to the heavy dependence on China in particular in economy and diplomacy. Korea could not but being prone to China"s diplomatic pressure not to be close to Taiwan. For Korea, it was almost impossible to expand its official relationship with Taiwan and was even cautious to keep civilian interactions between Taiwan and Korea.
  However, the inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou and his subsequent d tente with China saves diplomatic room for Korea"s civilians to squeeze in. Expecting that friendly relations between Taiwan and China would make China less enthusiastic to implement diplomatic pressure for isolating Taiwan, Korea feels much relieved to expand the cooperation with Taiwan. Given growing number of tourists and direct flights, and increasing volume of mutual economic exchanges, Taiwan and Korea have already paved the grounds for expanding mutual relationship, Since Ma"s d tente with China is not oriented to a structural change, however, Korea"s cooperation with Taiwan should be limited within the fields of economy and culture, far from touching upon the issue of political status of Taiwan. Given the advantage of hedging, Korea should manage the relationships both with China and Taiwan, leaving military, security, and diplomatic contacts to be minimized.
