    Extractions: Time to Withdraw from Korea In his new Cato book, Tripwire: Korea and U.S. Foreign Policy in a Changed World , Cato senior fellow and syndicated columnist Doug Bandow presents a comprehensive review of the history of U.S. military involvement in South Korea and argues that it is time to recognize that South Korea is capable of defending itself and bring American troops home. Bandow contends that military activism abroad may have been justified at one time to contain the hegemonic threat posed by the Soviet Union and its clients. However, with the Cold War behind us, there is no longer any need for U.S. tripwires around the world. Such a tripwire is especially inappropriate on the Korean peninsula. "In 1953 the ROK was a wreckimpoverished, war ravaged, and ruled by an unloved autocrat whose belligerence had helped plunge his country into a disastrous war. Without an American security guarantee, South Korea would not have long survived. But four-plus decades later the South is prosperous and democratic while its adversary is ruled by an autocrat who lacks both charisma and international friends. North Korea talks of avoiding absorption by Seoul, not of conquest." Washington's military commitment to South Korea has outlived its usefulness. While South Koreans undoubtedly appreciate the protection, there is no compelling reason for the forward deployment of U.S. troops and the corresponding risk to American lives. South Koreans "will probably still want the United States to be prepared to fight to the last American for them," Bandow writes, "but their wishes should not matter. Washington should risk the lives and wealth of its citizens only when something fundamental is at stake for their own political community. U.S. soldiers' lives are not gambit pawns to be sacrificed in some global chess game."

86. Korea: Division, Reunification, & U.S. Foreign Policy, Reviewed By Levkowitz

    http://koreaweb.ws/ks/ksr/ksr99-04.htm
    
    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.

    Indeed the current (and immediate future) state of south koreanUS relations considered to be the strongest anti-Americanism in south korea s history.  
    http://www.fpif.org/outside/commentary/2003/0301roh_body.html
    
    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.

    Extractions: The Constitution, adopted 17 July 1948, was amended in 1952, 1954, 1960 (twice), 1962, 1969, 1972, 1980, and on 29 Oct 1987 ( cf. History and News ). The 1987 Constitution, including direct presidential elections, was unanimously approved by the National Assembly and supported in a national referendum. A special feature of the Constitution is the duty to work (Art. 32 II 1 ). The following information has been kindly provided to ICL and will be updated by Rüdiger Frank With its Western name deriving from the kingdom of Koryò (918-1392), Korea has a long history of political, economic and social development. The political culture is strongly influenced by the legacy of Neo-Confucianism, which was the determining standard for daily life and public administration for several centuries. Preference of formal learning over practical skills, a highly centralized administration, factional strife and a lack of political compromise are only some features of traditional Korean politics. It took until the opening at end of the 19th century for Western ideas to come to Korea on a broad basis. The current system of legislation and the first Korean constitution originated from the Kabo reforms of 1894, but what followed was the loss of independence to Japan after the treaties of protection (1905) and annexation (1910). After the liberalization in 1945, the country was divided into two spheres of influence by the Soviet Union and the USA roughly along the 38th parallel. In the midst of the Cold War between the superpowers, the division became permanent with the foundation of the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the South and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the North. The antagonism between the two parts of Korea and their supporters led to the Korean War (1950-1953), which is seen in Korea as the biggest national tragedy and overshadowing the relations on the Korean peninsula until the present day.

Date: 09-26-99 When arms races erupt there is usually a trigger like North Korea's test-firing of the Dae Po Dong-I missile one year ago. Today, fears that Pyongyang would resume testing at the end of August have ebbed, but the reason may be that the missile crisis has already achieved its purpose for all parties involved. Commentator Terry Lee monitors the Korean language media for PNS's New California Media project, a collaboration of ethnic news media that hosts the first inter-ethnic portal on the Internet at www.ncmonline.com. T he North Korean missile crisis, punctuated by Pyongyang's on-and-off again threats to resume testing, resembles a play entitled "Opening a New Arms Race in Asia." The characters include a villain North Korea; victims South Korea and Japan; and a wizard, the United States. As the plot unfolds, however, the audience discovers that the characters are not exactly playing their assigned roles. Consider the latest twists: *In mid-August, South Korea and Japan held the first joint naval exercise in the South Western Sea of Korea, billed as a practice rescue operation.

    Extractions: Japan's Education Ministry on Tuesday announced the outcome of its screening of the 2005 editions of middle school history and social studies textbooks. To give Seoul's conclusions first, the new textbooks repeated most of their whitewashing of Japanese atrocities and even changed some portions for the worse. Social studies textbooks published by three firms including, notoriously, Fusosha, added a new phrase for Korea's Dokdo islets, namely that they are "illegally occupied by Korea." The most notable thing from the textbook screening is that Japan has now started, through its textbooks, to claim as its own territory another country's land that it tried to, but couldn't, steal 100 years ago. Japan screens history and related textbooks every four years. But it has drawn uncommon attention this year, coming as it does amid extremely strained Korea-Japan relations because the country's Shimane Prefecture just designated a "Takeshima Day," after its name for the islets. There was ample reason, then, for Tokyo to exercise some judgment in rewriting its textbooks, but judgment it exercised none. One could feel almost sorry for the Japanese Cabinet members who stuck their neck out promising that the inspection would be fair and they would make "sincere" efforts to respond to Korean concerns.

    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.

Today, the situation in Northeast Asia surrounding the Korean Peninsula is more enflamed than ever before. This causes great concern not only among all the Korean people but also among people in the region. This urgent situation presses for steps to prevent a new war and ensure the peace and security in the region by concerted efforts of regional countries. Factors for rising tension in Northeast Asia The U.S. hostile policy against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and its arms buildup constitutes a major factor threatening security in this region. The Six-Party Talks have yet to be resumed and the resolution of the nuclear issue has been delayed. To all intents and purposes, this is the fault of the U.S. As mentioned several times, the DPRK put a just demand to the U.S. to change its hostile policy aimed at seeking "regime change" and shift its policy in favor of peaceful co-existence between the DPRK and the U.S. If the U.S. does this, the nuclear issue can be resolved.
