The Security of Korea: U.S. and Japanese Perspectives on the 1980s

edited by Franklin B. Weinstein and Fuji Kamiya

Any discussion of the security of Korea has implications for U.S.-Japan relations, but the Carter administration's announcement in 1977 of its intention to withdraw U.S. ground-combat forces from Korea by 1982, which brought to the surface deep-rooted Japanese and American frustrations with one another, made it clear that neither side fully understood the other's view of Korea.

This book, a collaborative effort by specialists of diverse expertise and viewpoints, clarifies U.S. and Japanese perceptions of the Korean problem and explores alternative approaches to the maintenance of peace and security on the Korean peninsula. Demonstrating that much of the conventional wisdom about Korean security rests on oversimplifications, exaggerated fears, and mistaken assumptions, the authors assert that the prospects for avoiding conflict grow brighter despite existing pitfalls, and offer recommendations for the U.S. and Japanese governments.

Franklin . Weinstein is director of the Project on United States-Japan Relations at Stanford University, where he also teaches in the Department of Political Science. Fuji Kamiya is professor of international relations at Keio University and serves as research director of the Japan Institute of International Affairs.

Both Americans and Japanese find it hard to think about the security of Korea without coming to dwell on the implications for U.S.-Japan relations. Korea has, of course, an intrinsic importance for the United States and Japan, but their respective relations with Korea also have a major impact on the way Washington and Tokyo view each other. For many Americans, a critical part of the rationale behind the U.S. commitment to Seoul is the latter's importance to Japan. If the Japanese did not consider a U . S. commitment to South Korea vital to their security, the character of that commitment might change dramatically. From a Japanese perspective, the prospects for Korean security depend largely on what the United States is prepared to do; Japanese discussions of Korea's future tend to become debates about U.S. policy. And the Japanese inevitably view U.S. policy toward Korea as an indicator of the strength of the U.S. commitment to Japan itself.
