The common images of Korea view the peninsula as a long-standing
battleground for outside powers and the Cold War's last divided
state. But, Korea's location at the very center of Northeast Asia
gives it a pivotal role in the economic integration of the region
and the dynamic development of its more powerful neighbors. A great
wave of economic expansion, driven first by the Japanese miracle
and then by the ascent of China, has made South Korea - an economic
powerhouse in its own right - the hub of the region once again, a
natural corridor for railroads and energy pipelines linking Asiatic
Russia to China and Japan. And, over the horizon, an opening of
North Korea, with multilateral support, would add another major
push toward regional integration. Illuminating the role of the
Korean peninsula in three modern historical periods, the eminent
international contributors to this volume offer a fresh and
stimulating appraisal of Korea as the key to the coalescence of a
broad, open Northeast Asian regionalism in the twenty-fifth
century.
