Abstract

The purpose of this theses is to analyze the relations between Japan and North Korea, identifying each nation's concept of its own security interests. The report describes the present status of Korea, both North and South, and examines the transitory division between the two halves of what both profess is a single divided country; examines the strategic significance of the Korean peninsula to China, the Soviet Union, The United States, and Japan; discusses North Korea and Japan's foreign policy goals, especially as they relate to internal and external security considerations; attempts to determine the nature of the accommodation between North Korea and Japan, based on their own strategic interests; and analyzes the effect of this accommodation on the United States.
