Since its partition in the 1950s, the Korean peninsula has directly
or indirectly shaped the broader security relations between
regional powerhouses, and the recent test of a nuclear weapon by
the North Korean regime has heightened tensions across the world.
This study draws upon contributions from a diverse array of experts
who offer their perspectives on the region's complex network of
alliances and hostilities. The authors discuss the future of the
region, the potential for military conflict and a new arms race,
and the ways to maintain peace and stability. Since its partition
in the 1950s, the Korean peninsula has directly or indirectly
shaped the broader security relations between regional powerhouses,
while the recent test of a nuclear weapon by the North Korean
regime has heightened tensions across the world. Japan, feeling
increasingly threatened by the North Korean regime and China's
extravagant military expenditures, has begun questioning Article IX
in its Constitution that renounces war and the maintenance of armed
forces. Its neighbors, still haunted by Japanese atrocities during
World War II, are fearful of a new nuclear arms race in the region.
The United States, for its part, has adopted unprecedented
hard-line policies in response to 9/11, going so far as to condemn
North Korea as part of an axis of evil. It has strengthened its
alliance with Japan and alienated its long-time strategic partner
South Korea. Add to this the economic entanglements of each of
these countries both with each other and with the rest of the
world, and the regional security issues become even more paramount.
This study makes sense of these complex alliances and frictions and
offers an array of perspectives on the future of the region, the
potential for military conflict and a new arms race, and the ways
to maintain peace and stability. Topics include big power
rivalries, South Korea's sunshine policy, anti-Americanism, and
emerging nationalisms.
