N2  - The article explores how conventional IR realism and liberalism have yet to fully explain the emergence and role of network-based middle power leaders. The article assesses current strategic issues for South Korea in the context of North Korea's nuclear program and responses to it. From this, what emerges, are a number of strategic concerns and opportunities given the current power dynamic in the region that are currently identified as to enabling South Korea as a transforming middle power to confront what has recently been termed the new phenomenon of 'Korea passed.'
