Threat perception, which affects the practicality of cooperation, should be understood as 'constructive notions about specific policy issues'. Among various actors, the bureaucracy possesses direct influence on the practicality of the policy. The given premises interrelates the idea of the bureaucracy to the level of cooperation practice performance.
Under this assumption, this study analyzed the processes and results of the 'West Sea Peace Cooperation' policy in the Roh Moo - hyun and Moon Jae - in Administration with a particular focus on discourse and constitutional perception. The results reveal that the perception of the bureaucracy depended on the expected outcome of the oriented policy within the bureaucracy. Moreover, this research displayed that the formulations of bureaucratic perceptions were influenced by the relevant social discourses regardless of the objectivity of given situations.
As the threat discourse expanded into the mainstream discourse, the perceptions of the policy in each sector were divided. On the other hand, when the discourse revolving peace was extended to mainstream discourse, the ROK government's practice for peaceful cooperation was high. In sum, the policy awareness based on the collaboration with other parties was composed by discourse exchanges regardless of the objectivity of given situations. The social discourse constituted and reconstructed the perceptions of a specific policy, and the mechanism of peace cooperation with hostile opponents was shifted in this mechanism.
