Abstract

This article contends that South Korea's behaviors toward China since 1992 can be fully understood when the structural variables of the strategic environment-i.e., economic interdependence, the US-centered hub-and-spoke system, and the North Korean threat-are combined with the domestic variable of Seoul's leadership change and its perception of threat.
