    Extractions: January 7, 2003 .pdf For related analysis, see " Roh's Election Victory and the Widening Gap Between the U.S. and South Korea ," by Tim Shorrock. The victory of the liberal Roh Moo-Hyun in the December 19th South Korean presidential elections has been presented in the western media as a source of future tension in South Korean-U.S. relations. Roh, a long-time liberal and human rights advocate, when compared to his more conservative opponent, Lee Hoi-Chang, does represent a more challenging partner for future South Korean-U.S. relations. Roh's stated aims include continuing the "Sunshine Policy" of engagement with North Korea, renegotiating the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) for the 37,000 U.S. troops in South Korea, and maintaining a more independent foreign policy in international and regional affairs. However, it is difficult to argue that anything Roh does could place more tension on the South Korea-U.S. relationship than the Bush administration's unilateral foreign policy. Indeed the current (and immediate future) state of South Korean-U.S. relations is the result of much deeper currents. Anti-Americanism has been on the rise since the end of the cold war due in part to a perception that the absence of a serious global security threat vitiates the need to tolerate U.S. arrogance and unilateralism. In South Korea, the success of the Sunshine Policy has further reduced the perception of threat from across the last cold war frontier in Asia. The situation of reduced threat and U.S. unilateralism has combined in South Korea to create a situation that does not augur well for future South Korean-U.S. relations. Anti-Americanism in South Korea, a once close and passionate supporter of U.S. policy, has risen to alarming levels.

The talks are on the sidelines of the main six-nation discussions in Beijing. US envoy Christopher Hill and North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan are trying to agree on a plan to end the North's nuclear programme. Both nations have put fresh demands on the table, although they are still a long way off reaching a deal. The US delegation's decision to engage the North Koreans directly is a significant departure from its previous approach, according to BBC correspondent Charles Scanlon. The other countries attending the talks - South Korea, Japan, China and Russia - have been pushed to the sidelines by the increasing focus on the bilateral negotiations, he says.

The BBC News website analyses the crisis over the North's nuclear ambitions, and asks whether Monday's agreement will resolve the issue. Does this agreement matter? Yes. The stand-off between North Korea and the US is possibly the most serious threat to East Asia's short- and long-term security, and anything which helps reduce the tension is to be welcomed. But although the agreement looks promising in principle, the most difficult issues have not yet been addressed. What do we know about North Korea's nuclear weapons programme? North Korea claims to have nuclear weapons and to be working on building up its arsenal. The problem for the rest of the world is that it is very difficult to verify these claims. Most arms control experts suspect North Korea did pursue an active weapons programme - certainly up to 1994, when it signed a landmark agreement to freeze all nuclear-related activities.

    Extractions: Korea has for many years drawn attention as one of the last places on earth to exhibit the remains of the Cold War. The end of the Korean conflict would solve one of the most important problems in Asia, and one of the main solutions that has been discussed and researched is reunification, an idea boosted after the reunification of Germany. Many papers and books have been written and conferences held on the topic since German reunification, a list too long to condense easily. Over the years several questions have been raised, among them: who is responsible for the division of Korea; and why did it take so many years for South Korea to become a democratic state? Hart-Landsberg in his new book Korea: Division, Reunification, and U.S. Foreign Policy claims that the answers to these questions can largely be found in U.S. foreign policy towards Korea. The author analyzes the relationship between Korea and the U.S. since the 19th century. Hart-Landsberg starts with the relations of the U.S. towards Korea under Japanese rule, and continues analyzing relations until after the end of the Second World War. U.S. policy is criticized by the author for the preference given to security and regional considerations over the promotion of the democratic process in Korea. (This conflict over the need to achieve several at times inconsistent goals has been one of the dilemmas for the U.S. in the post WWII years in Korea, Japan and other areas. cf. Press-Barnathan (1998)). U.S. policy in Korea before the Korean war has been incisively documented in the two volumes of Cumings (1981, 1990). Cumings in a very detailed manner, and Hart-Landsberg in a more concise way, show their readers what they consider to be the mistakes that American generals and diplomats have made in dealing with Korea.

    Extractions: 2005-07-12 / Taiwan News / The crisis over North Korea and its nuclear weapons programs has been a challenging issue for the security of the region. Judging from current developments, the foreign policy of the United States will still be tilted toward prosecuting its crusade or war on global terrorism, especially in the Middle East, and on trying to find a way out of its deepening morass in Iraq. Although some U.S. military officials have declared that Washington is ready to go to war in North Korea, the adoption of such an extreme and violent approach against Pyongyang would run the risk of strong retaliation by North Korea against South Korea or even Japan and thus would undoubtedly not receive support from either Seoul or Tokyo. Given rising disenchantment over the growing casualty figures from Iraq, the U.S. public is also not likely to be enthusiastic about another possibly endless foreign adventure.

Print Mail Wikipedia North Korea appears to be warming to renewed nuclear talks Although the US has cited evidence that Pyongyang may be preparing to test its 'nuclear deterrent', there are also signs that Kim Jong-il is treading more carefully By Christopher Torchia Tuesday, May 31, 2005,Page 9 Advertising If North Korea carries out a nuclear test, tension will soar and the prospect of talks with the US and other regional powers could fade for a long time. So the North's recent expression of interest in talks suggests it might refrain from such a provocative act for now. North Korea's history of belligerent behavior dates to its 1950 invasion of US-backed South Korea, triggering a war that killed millions. But today, North Korea is weak and isolated, lacking fuel and spare parts for its aging conventional weaponry. Its leader, Kim Jong-il, likely knows that a nuclear test an aggressive tactic designed to win concessions might backfire, ruffling friendlier nations such as China and Russia and inviting a punitive response from Washington and its allies.

    Extractions: Origins of the Korean Language There is a consensus among linguists that Korean is a member of the Altaic family of languages, which originated in northern Asia and includes the Mongol, Turkic, Finnish, Hungarian, and Tungusic (Manchu) languages. Although a historical relationship between Korean and Japanese has not been established, the two languages have strikingly similar grammatical structures. Some have hypothesized that Korea and Japan stood at the end of two routes of large-scale migration in ancient times: a northern route from Inner Asia and southern route from southern China or Southeast Asia where the differences in the two languages are in part a reflection of disparate "northern" and "southern" influences, with Korean showing more influence from the northern, Inner Asian strain. The Korean language may be written using a mixture of Chinese ideograms (hancha) and a native Korean alphabet known as hangul, or in hangul alone, much as in a more limited way Indo-European languages sometimes write numbers using Arabic symbols and at other times spell numbers out in their own alphabets or in some combination of the two forms. See the section on this page for a further discussion of the orginal of hangul.

Kane In February 1866 anti-Christian persecutions by the Taewongun resulted in the execution of nine French Jesuit missionaries secretly proselytizing in Korea. French reaction was extreme, with the French Far Eastern Squadron undertaking a small-scale invasion that fall. The attack, made in hopes of inflicting retribution and gaining concessions, was a dismal failure, ending in French withdrawal and the end of French missionary activity in Korea for a decade. The decision to attack has usually been viewed solely in its "Korean context" and thus been interpreted as a rash reaction to events there by the leading French diplomat in China. When viewed in the broader context of French policy in the Far East, especially China, the French decision to attack can be better understood.

    Extractions: Military Situation on the Korean Peninsula September 12, 2000 The FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act (Section 1233) directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on the security situation on the Korean Peninsula. This report provides an assessment of the warfighting capability of the Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command when compared to the armed forces of North Korea. It also provides an assessment of the North Korean threat to the Republic of Korea. Finally, it examines the current status and future direction of North Korea’s weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. 1. The Republic of Korea (ROK/South Korea) and the US have adopted a security strategy that emphasizes deterrence and defense. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK/North Korea) has a large and powerful ground force, that is numerically superior in manpower, armor, and artillery, and is deployed in forward positions from which they could mount, with only minimal preparation, a strong offensive. Therefore, to deter the DPRK requires the ROK and US actions during armistice to undermine the DPRK’s confidence in its ability to succeed militarily. Accomplishing this goal requires the combined defense team to maintain constant awareness of the DPRK’s intentions, respond to acts of North Korean provocation, and should deterrence fail, demonstrate resolve by deploying key US augmentation forces to support ROK forces. The cornerstone of deterrence is the unity of and strength of the ROK and US alliance.

Regional consequences include slowed progress on the Korean Peninsula, new complications for infrastructure and energy projects, and a changed American force presence. Chapter 2: New Direction of "Cooperation" in the North Pacific Region This section makes a general survey of the repeated "advances" and "retreats" observed in the history of inter-Korean economic relations from the end of the Korean War to date. It then discusses the two points necessary for improvement of inter-Korean relations derived from that survey: 1) improvement of the feasibility of economic projects at the commercial level; and 2) the necessity of multi-lateral cooperation directed towards the improvement of inter-Korean relations.
