Book excerpt: The United States and South Korea enjoy many benefits from close security cooperation but the relationship, although not currently endangered, is shifting. The paramount challenge in the short term is ensuring that the two countries stay in lockstep in dealing with North Korea. Sustaining the relationship for the long haul, however, will require a focused effort to adapt it to new global and domestic conditions. Recent attention has been given to the appropriate nature, size, and configuration of U.S. forces deployed in Korea. These central questions deserve heavy emphasis but the answers provided will remain vulnerable to domestic political currents in both countries without affirmation of a larger common purpose. Other important issues include a joint agreement to move the U.S. garrison out of Seoul, South Korea's role within the alliance, and the South Korean desire for a more "equal" partnership. The U.S. should examine whether restrictions on weapons sales to Korea might be relaxed in certain areas and whether the bar on permissible technology transfers might be raised, while creating opportunities for South Koreans to help shape a new security relationship that gives them a greater sense of ownership. For its part, South Korea must act like an equal partner if it wants to be treated as one. At its core, this means taking its own responsibility for the health of the alliance. While continuing to address such "future of the alliance" issues, the U.S. also needs to address a broad set of issues relating to management of the alliance today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an original examination of current European Union (EU)–Republic of Korea (ROK) security relations. It brings together analysis and original material on relations in the fields of Nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, Cybersecurity and data-protection, Space policy and technology, and Preventive diplomacy and crisis management. These represent areas of particular interest to examine the extent to which the EU and ROK are able to successfully or otherwise cooperate. Relations between the EU and the ROK have been growing in quantity and quality over recent years. Alongside the economic dimension, the political and security elements of the relationship have shown promise for further collaboration between the two sides, not least within the context of North Korea’s nuclear threat and East Asia’s wider evolving security environment. All contributors are leading experts in their respective fields and each chapter is co-authored by a European and Korean expert for a balanced assessment. The volume will be essential reading for students, scholars and policy-makers interested in EU–Korea relations, EU foreign policy and security, Area studies, and, more broadly to EU politics studies, security studies, and international relations.

Book excerpt: This thesis examines the "China factor" in the evolution of the ROK- U,S relationship and its implications on ROK-U,S security relations, While the "China factor" had been one of the major stimuli to maintaining a tight alliance relationship between Seoul and Washington during the Cold War era, the recently increasing importance of China in South Korea's strategic calculations has become a major detrimental factor to ROK-U,S security relations since the end of the Cold War, Despite the recently aggravated disharmony between the ROK and the United States on their North Korea policies, the ROK-U,S, security alliance still remains intact and plays a crucial role in stabilizing Northeast Asia as well as the Korean peninsula, Within this context, the most favorable sets of policy options for the ROK and the United States regarding bilateral security relations seem to have significant convergence as well as some divergence, Facing a critical turning point of bilateral security relations, both the ROK and the United States will highly benefit from enhancing security cooperation while narrowing the policy gap between the two, The areas for further cooperation include the bilateral alliance, North Korea policy, anti- Americanism, multilateralism, and China policy,
Download or read book A New Alliance for the Next Century written by Jonathan D. Pollack and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1995 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, prepared jointly by RAND and the Korea Institute of Defense Analyses, assesses whether and how the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) can maintain and invigorate their security relationship should North Korea no longer pose a major threat to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. The research identified prospective changes in the U.S.-ROK alliance stemming either from shifts in relations between North and South Korea, from changes in the larger regional security context, or from both. Analyses focused on four alternative models of the alliance, evaluating the relevance of each according to shifting peninsular and regional conditions and according to more-precise criteria for judging their suitability, feasibility, and flexibility. The findings enabled the researchers to specify four potential end states. Because of the variability in future political and military conditions, it was not possible to determine a single optimal model or end state. But there is ample basis for building a post-unification alliance, which would possess a very different logic and structure from those of the threat-based environment of the Cold War. Through such an alliance, both countries would help realize their primary policy needs while keeping potential areas of political, economic, and security divergence in check.

Book excerpt: This thesis reviews the development of the U.S.-ROK relationship through three distinct periods; until the end of the Korean War; from the Korean War to President Carter's assumption of office; and during the Carter Administration. In the light of the explosive strategic environment in Northeast Asia, the hypothesis is examined that the mutual interests of South Korea and the United States demand that the stability of South Korea and the continuous undiminished U.S. commitment to South Korea's security are essential for the protection and progress of their mutual interests. An in-depth analysis of both political and strategic implications involving such issues as a phased U.S. troop withdrawal from Korea, a North-South non-aggression pact, a multilateral guarantee of Korea's neutrality, and a cross-recognition of North and South Korea and a possible 4-power or 6-power conference has been made.
Download or read book South Korea at the Crossroads written by Scott A. Snyder and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of China’s mounting influence and North Korea’s growing nuclear capability and expanding missile arsenal, South Korea faces a set of strategic choices that will shape its economic prospects and national security. In South Korea at the Crossroads, Scott A. Snyder examines the trajectory of fifty years of South Korean foreign policy and offers predictions—and a prescription—for the future. Pairing a historical perspective with a shrewd understanding of today’s political landscape, Snyder contends that South Korea’s best strategy remains investing in a robust alliance with the United States. Snyder begins with South Korea’s effort in the 1960s to offset the risk of abandonment by the United States during the Vietnam War and the subsequent crisis in the alliance during the 1970s. A series of shifts in South Korean foreign relations followed: the “Nordpolitik” engagement with the Soviet Union and China at the end of the Cold War; Kim Dae Jung’s “Sunshine Policy,” designed to bring North Korea into the international community; “trustpolitik,” which sought to foster diplomacy with North Korea and Japan; and changes in South Korea’s relationship with the United States. Despite its rise as a leader in international financial, development, and climate-change forums, South Korea will likely still require the commitment of the United States to guarantee its security. Although China is a tempting option, Snyder argues that only the United States is both credible and capable in this role. South Korea remains vulnerable relative to other regional powers in northeast Asia despite its rising profile as a middle power, and it must balance the contradiction of desirable autonomy and necessary alliance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could the 38th Parallel the last remaining Cold War frontier collapse as did the Berlin Wall? Many observers believe that significant change between North and South Korea is only a matter of time and that Korean unification -whether it occurs abruptly or over time is all but certain. In that event, the United States and the Republic of Korea will have to reexanmine the longer-term basis of their alliance and the need for continued security cooperation. A New Allianee for the Next Century seeks to contribute to the reexanmination of the U.S.-ROK security relationship. In this collaborative effort of RAND and the Korea Institute of Defense Analyses the two research teams intensnvly review the past history and present status of the U.S.-ROK alliance and assess the alliance, s future development in light of regional and local challenges. The authors identifiy range of outcomes based on alternative models of the future U.S.-ROK security relationship and offer a framework for evaluating the suitability, feasibility and flexibility of their security-planning alternatives. Both research teams believe that the potential for a post -unification alliance clearly exists, but that such an alliance, and the strategic planning it entails, need to be managed effectively by the political and military leaderships of the United States and the Republic of Korea. Looking beyond present realitics is more important now than at any time in the history of the alliance, and the process of planning for the future must begin now.
Download or read book Security Cooperation and Deterrence in Korea written by U S Army Command and General Staff Coll and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States' insufficient investment in security assistance and cooperation to build the capacity of the Republic of Korea's (ROK) military before the start of the Korean War contributed to the ROK's inability to deter or effectively conduct military operations. The U.S. investment in security cooperation and strong U.S. policy support in Korea following the Korean War enabled the U.S. to gradually withdraw forces from the peninsula while simultaneously building ROK capabilities and deterring a North Korean invasion. An analysis of the correlation of U.S. and ROK capabilities will potentially help future researchers and analysts to identify the critical point where the minimum amount of U.S. security cooperation efforts will continue to maintain successful deterrence against an invasion from North Korea.
