The U.S.-ROK Alliance: Building a Mature Partnership. INSS Special Report, March 2004

Abstract

This report presents two views on the alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea and its future. It was prepared as part of an ongoing dialog between the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University and the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses. In the first contribution, "Military Transformation: Enhancing Capabilities and Commitment," James Przystup looks at the implications of American military transformation for security on the Korean Peninsula and the alliance. In the second contribution, "Restructuring the Alliance for Regional and Global Challenges," Kang Choi presents a South Korean roadmap to a mature and comprehensive security alliance. Both countries recognize the need for the United States and the Republic of Korea governments to articulate a common strategic vision that would adapt the alliance to an increasingly complicated security environment, reflect a more mature partnership, and develop a regional and global orientation.
