Transnational Institute with Focus on the Global South, Amsterdam, August 2001

"Melting the Iceberg" analyses the opportunities and obstacles in the Korean Reconciliation and Reunification process while exploring effective ways of mobilising international support. The biggest challenge is to achieve the substantive democratisation of the peace process and consolidate new and alternative approaches to peace and security, breaking with the Cold War mold of "security dependency" and embracing a future based on the "globalisation of solidarity".
