Abstract
Through analysis of the complex history of South Korea-Japan relations, this thesis uses constructivism to shed light on the wavering cycles of cooperation and conflict in present-day ROK-Japan bilateral ties, paving a way towards a further understanding of social constructivism and the need to acknowledge emotions, identities, and memory to foster cooperation in foreign policymaking.
