Preface
Northeast Asia is a region where the interests of several great
powers are in constant flux between competition and cooperation.
Such a peculiar strategic environment is reflected in the dynamics of the
Korean Peninsula. Therefore, efforts to manage affairs related to the
security and future of the Korean Peninsula, especially in regards to the
North Korean nuclear issue, requires cooperation among a wide cast of
regional and strategic players including the United States, Japan, China
and Russia.
Of particular importance in this equation is the United States.
Since its beginning, the Myung-Bak Lee administration has worked
diligently to strengthen the U.S.-ROK alliance. On June 16, 2009, the
presidents of both countries adopted a common vision to broaden the
scope of U.S.-ROK cooperation beyond the area of security to include
politics, economics, society and culture. This redefinition of a 21st
century U.S.-ROK alliance will help both countries be better prepared
to address strategic issues regarding the Korean peninsula.
This study aims to strengthen U.S.-ROK policy coordination and
cooperation in order to resolve salient issues regarding North Korea. It
is intended to provide evidence and support for bolstering the U.S- ROK
strategic alliance and developing a joint U.S.-ROK North Korea strategy.
