The purpose of the present study way to investigate the process and prospect of sport exchange between the South and the North of Korea. The results of the analysis was as follows:
(1) The separate participations of two countries in the international sports events give rise to a conflict between them The exploratory reconnaissance for the mutual exchange between them since the Korean war made two countries ascertain the differences existing in the ideology and social system. Such confirmations causes the conflict and confrontation between the two sides. Although a variety of exchange which has been recently performed, was important historical facts. it did not last long. The mutual exchange was achieved only on a level of political. strategyt, as a result. the continuous exchange was just a hope. (2) The partition of Germany is classified as the international and the complete types. However, the division of the Korean peninsular has the characteristics of the international. the internal, and the unstable factors. Therefore the recent sports exchange between two countries can be said to be at they beginning stage. Although North Korea tries partial openess to outside world in order to adapt itself to the changes of internation situations, it will be performed only under the restrictions since the entire openess will be a threatening factor to the their present political system. Thus. North Korea is not ready economically and politically for the mutual exchange with south Korea. This point proved by the stop of the soccer game between tow countries. the failure of forming a unified team for table tennis and soccer, and the failure of realizing the exchange of letters and meeting between the peoples in two countries. However, the small scale of infrequent exchange will be possible for the symbolic effect of mutual cooperation.
