US-Korean Relations: The Evolving Missile Context
Abstract
U.S.-Korean relations have been influenced by diverse
factors over the years. Political, economic, and strategic
parameters have shaped and reshaped U.S. relations with both
South and North Korea, and strongly influenced the
circumstances of inter-Korean relations. Two characteristics
have dominated these factors. First, there is a prevailing
tendency to focus on momentous events such as the impact of
the Korean War, the Cold War, political successions, and
periodic crises of one sort or another. As corollaries of these
major events, an array of precipitating factors have played a
causal role in U.S.-Korean relations. A second characteristic is
the endemic interplay between the policies of both the Republic
of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK) vis-a-vis U.S. policy toward either Korea and
vis-a-vis each other. In short, the evolution of U.S.-Korean
relations has been subject to many nuances.
