title = "Basic Human Needs: Identity and Intractable Conflict: History and Identity in South Korea{\textquoteright}s Intractable Conflicts with Japan and China",
abstract = "The chapter aims to explain the sources of South Korea{\textquoteright}s intractable conflict with Japan and China, by focusing on the impacts of ideational factors in international relations and how these have influenced Koreans{\textquoteright} perceptions towards Japan and China. We found that Koreans have generally unfavourable perceptions towards these two countries: they have negative images towards Japan and ambivalent and complex feelings towards China. In particular, deep-seated historical antagonism based on the events of colonial history and repeated disputes over this historical legacy have strongly affected the policy-making of South Korea and generated quite negative impacts on its bilateral relations with both Japan and China.",
