This article explores the question of social integration between South and North Korea in the context of consensual democracy. The two Koreas have industrialized rapidly while at the same time extending social and political cleavages and conflicts. Added to this the long duration of division has consolidated differences in the systems of the two Koreas regarding social values and norms. To prepare and carry forward the desirable social integration a democratic regime is needed that emphasizes consensus instead of opposition, includes rather than excludes, and tries to maximize the size of the ruling majority. Consensual democracy based on the  principles of inclusion  enables minorities to access to power, and therefore facilitates the complicated process of social integration between the two Koreas.
