Brown (2013) was the first to identify the resistance to pragmatics of L2 Korean learners. His research found that a myriad of factors, including identity and personal beliefs, can affect a learner's practical decisions.
The role of pragmatism in South Korea's foreign policy
In these times of flux and change, South Korea's foreign policy needs to be clear and bold. It must be prepared to stand up for principles and promote global public good, such as climate changes as well as sustainable development and maritime security. It should also be able to project its influence globally through delivering tangible benefits. But, it should do so without jeopardizing its stability within the country.
This is a challenging task. South Korea's foreign policy is hindered by domestic politics. It is important that the leadership of the country manages these domestic constraints to promote confidence in the direction and accountability for foreign policies. It is not an easy task, as the structures that support the development of foreign policy are diverse and complicated. This article examines how to deal with the domestic constraints to project a coherent foreign policy.
South Korea will likely benefit from the current administration's focus on pragmatic cooperation with allies and partners that have the same values. This can help to counter radical attacks on GPS' values-based foundation and allow Seoul to engage with nondemocracies. It could also help improve the relationship with the United States which remains an essential partner in advancing an order of world democracy that is liberal and democratic.
Another challenge for Seoul is to improve its complicated relationship with China the nation's largest trading partner. The Yoon administration has made significant progress in the development of multilateral security structures like the Quad. However, it must weigh this effort against its need to maintain economic relations with Beijing.
Younger voters are less influenced by this view. This generation is more diverse views of the world, and its beliefs and worldview are changing. This is evident in the recent growth of Kpop, as well as the growing global appeal of its exports of culture.

South Korea's diplomatic and pragmatic approach to North Korea
South Korea faces a delicate balance between the need to face threats from rogue states and the desire to avoid being drawn into power games among its large neighbors. It also has to consider the trade-offs that are made between values and interests, especially when it comes to supporting nondemocratic countries and engaging with human rights activists. In this respect, the Yoon government's pragmatic and diplomatic approach to North Korea is an important change from previous governments.
As one of the most active pivotal countries in the world, South Korea needs to participate in multilateral engagements as a way of establishing its self within global and regional security networks. In its first two years in office, the Yoon administration has proactively strengthened bilateral ties with democratically-minded allies and increased participation in minilateral and multilateral forums. These initiatives include the Korea-Pacific Islands Summit and the Second Asia-Pacific Summit for Democracy.
These efforts might seem like incremental steps, but they have positioned Seoul to make use of its new partnerships to spread its opinions on regional and global issues. For example the 2023 Summit for Democracy emphasized the importance of reforming democratic practices and practices to address challenges such as corruption, digital transformation and transparency.

It is possible to revive the trilateral relationship in the current context however, it will require the leadership and reciprocity of President Yoon and Premier Kishida. If they fail to do so this time around, the current period of trilateral cooperation could be only a brief respite from an otherwise rocky future. In the longer term in the event that the current pattern continues all three countries will find themselves at odds over their mutual security interests. In such a scenario, the only way for the trilateral partnership to last will be if each country is able to overcome its own domestic challenges to prosperity and peace.

China's focus on economic cooperation, particularly through the revival of talks on a China-Japan Korea FTA and a joint statement on trade in the services market reflect this intention. Additionally, Beijing is likely hoping to stop security cooperation with the United States from undermining the importance of its own trilateral military and economic relationships with these East Asian allies.
