Book excerpt: For nearly half a century, the security alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea has deterred aggression and helped assure stability in Northeast Asia. The countries in this area, along with the United States, anticipate rapid progress in this region toward democratic industrialization as the Cold War recedes and the few remaining communist states undergo inevitable transformation. In October 1995, scholars, military officers, diplomats, journalists, public figures, and concerned private citizens of the alliance partners and regional states gathered in Seoul, Korea, to assess the impact of these changes and to seek new directions for the alliance. This conference report summarizes their deliberations.
