description La competencia geoestratégica entre la red de seguridad liderada por Estados Unidos en el Indo-Pacífico y China se está intensi­ficando. En medio de la rivalidad hegemó­nica entre estos dos países, Corea del Sur surge como un actor que busca encontrar su lugar en esta creciente rivalidad entre Washington y Pekín. A pesar de ser un socio estratégico formal de Estados Uni­dos, es común en la literatura académica argumentar que Seúl ha mostrado un com­portamiento similar al hedging a lo largo de los años. En este artículo demostramos que el entorno estratégico, caracterizado por niveles variados de percepción de ame­nazas, y las orientaciones políticas de los líderes respecto a Corea del Norte son cru­ciales para dar forma al comportamien­to estratégico de Corea del Sur (hedging, balancing o bandwagoning). Evaluamos el comportamiento de Corea del Sur utili­zando un análisis realista neoclásico de las percepciones de sus líderes respecto a Corea del Norte, Estados Unidos y China. Las variables independientes incluyen la distri­bución de poder en el sistema internacional, el contexto regional, la interdependencia económica y la red de alianzas de Estados Unidos. Nuestras variables intervinientes son las percepciones de los líderes, especí­ficamente sus evaluaciones de riesgo, y las imágenes que guían sus decisiones de hed­ging, balancing o bandwagoning con China y Estados Unidos. La investigación se llevó a cabo a través de un análisis bibliográfico y un examen de documentos oficiales, inclui­dos libros blancos, informes de defensa y discursos oficiales. Un hallazgo clave es que comprender el comportamiento de seguri­dad de Seúl requiere un examen cuidadoso de las acciones de Corea del Norte. Además, la decisión de hacer hedging o balancing no está impulsada por factores ideológicos; más bien, proviene de la percepción de cuál de los dos –China o Estados Unidos– apoya mejor las estrategias políticas de Seúl y sus relaciones esperadas con Pyongyang.

Amid this hegemonic rivalry between the US and China, South Korea emerges as an actor grappling with finding its position between Washington and Beijing. Despite its formal strategic partnership with the United States, much of the academic literature argues that Seoul has displayed behavior resem­bling hedging over the years. This article demonstrates that South Korea’s strategic behavior—whether hedging, balancing, or bandwagoning—is shaped by the strategic environment, varying levels of threat per­ception, and the political orientations of its leaders concerning North Korea. Using a neoclassical realist framework, we assess South Korea’s actions through an analysis of its leaders’ perceptions of North Korea, the U.S., and China. The independent vari­ables include the distribution of power in the international system, the regional con­text, economic interdependence, and the U.S. network of alliances. The interven­ing variables are the leaders’ perceptions, particularly their risk assessments and the images guiding their decisions to hedge, balance, or bandwagoning with China and the United States. The research is based on a bibliographic analysis and a review of official documents, including White Papers, defense reports, and official speeches. A key finding is that understanding Seoul’s secu­rity behavior requires careful consideration of North Korea’s actions. Furthermore, the decision to hedge or balance is driven not by ideology but by perceptions of which actor better supports Seoul’s political goals and relations with Pyongyang.application/pdftext/html10.18601/16577558.n41.042346-21321657-7558https://bdigital.uexternado.edu.co/handle/001/25285https://doi.org/10.18601/16577558.n41.04spaFacultad de Finanzas, Gobierno y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/oasis/article/download/10021/17524https://revistas.uexternado.edu.co/index.php/oasis/article/download/10021/17525Núm. 41 , Año 2025 : Enero-Junio674143OasisAbbondanza, G.
