The U.S. Security Interest in Korea
Abstract
The interests of the United States on the Korean peninsula have escalated considerably since 1945. A number of critical decisions by U.S. policy makers have further increased U.S. involvement and there can be no argument that the U.S. has been and will continue to be involved in the affairs of this Northeast Asian country. The dynamic diplomatic changes that have occurred in Asia in the past decade requires that the United States redefine their Asian interests. The U.S. has successfully deterred the North Korean military forces for the last thirty years but the time has come for a reassessment of the U.S. commitments and interests in Northeast Asia, and specifically on the Korean peninsula.
