Abstract

This paper considers critically the conceptual development of international environmental security, and to explore some limitations which seem to have made difficult the construction of regional environmental governance among North-East Asian countries. The recently emerging concept of environmental security has turned the traditional or realistic meaning of security to the neo-liberal and the political-economic one. On the basis of a reconsideration of these newly developed meanings of security, this paper has reviewed critically some work which have focused on the concepts of environmental regime and of environmental governance. To formulate a true environmental governance, it is suggested that we need a theoretical analysis on the economic and political contexts and a practical development of civil society. From this point of view, the economic structure of labour division, the political tension and military opposition in the region, and the immaturity and exclusiveness of civil consciousness can be pointed out as some limitations of environmental security to be constructed in the North-East Asian region. A true environmental security in this region requires formation of reciprocal economic relationship, development of regional institutions for political trust among countries, and improvement of interaction between non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

본 논문은 국제환경안보의 개념적 발달과정을 비판적으로 고찰하고, 이에 기초하여 동북아 지역에서 환경거버넌스의 구축을 어렵게 하는 몇 가지 주요한 한계들을 지적하고자 한다. 국제 환경안보의 개념은 전통적 의미 또는 현실주의적 의미의 안보 개념에서 나아가 신자유주의적 환경안보와 정치경제적 환경안보의 개념으로 발전하게 되었으며, 이러한 환경안보의 개념과 관련하여 환경레짐과 환경거버넌스의 개념이 비판적으로 검토되었다. 진정한 환경거버넌스를 (이론 및 현실에서) 구축하기 위하여 환경문제를 유발하는 정치경제적 배경에 관한 분석과 더불어 시민사회의 성숙이 필요하다는 점이 강조된다. 동북아 지역의 환경안보에 있어 한계점으로 경제적 분업구조. 정치군사적 대립관계 그리고 시민 의식의 미성숙과 상호배타성 등이 지적될 수 있다. 동북아 지역의 진정한 환경안보를 위하여, 호혜적 경제협력체계의 구축, 정치적 신뢰 및 국가간 연계기구의 설립, 비정부기구의 교류 증대 등이 요청되고 있다.
