After the second world war the Korean peninsula is divided into South and North Korea artificially, and do not be overcome this situation. The military power centered concentration geopolitics has been operated in the Korean peninsula traditionally. Contemporary geopolitics pursues to concentration and intervention-diffusion geopolitics utilizing military, economic, and cultural powers.
