• A Study on Establishment and Operation of Northeast Asia Energy Cooperation Network , Park, Y.D.
  One of the goals for dynamic Korean economic development is to be the hub country in Northeast Asia. To be a hub country we need to enlarge the supply of energy and to strengthen the capacity of energy security. Through the Northeast Asia energy cooperation, all six Northeast Asia countries can be mutually interconnected. Since those interconnections tend to expand into the world network, the functions and mechanism of the intergovernmental framework of Northeast Asia energy cooperation needs to be implemented with much consultation with the existing regional energy cooperation consultative framework. The study focuses on how to harmonize Northeast Asia energy cooperation framework with norms of WTO system. Among the issues discusses are: Trade and Investment, Regional Trade Agreements, Trade Facilitation, and Trade and Competition Policy issues need to be harmonized with Northeast Asia energy cooperation framework.

NEA nations (China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, and the Russian Federation) contain more than one-fourth of the earth\'s population. One twentieth of the earth\'s population lives within the region itself (Helongjian, Liaoning, and Jilin Provinces of China, the Russian Far East, and the entirety of the other nations). NEA populations are transitioning from high to low birth and death rates, from population homogeneity to diversity, aging rapidly, urbanizing, and engaged in unsettling cross border population flows. AIDS epidemics in China and Russia, ethnic conflicts, and refugee incidents and other migration issues further challenge regional stability. This course summarizes NEA population history, the current NEA population situation, and how to use population information to enhance stability in NEA. Students will develop a policy memorandum to respond to a current NEA population issue. There are no prerequisites for this course.

  \"Northeast Asia,\" including China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia, remains largely a geographic referent, not a political community, nor an economic unit. Historical factors and contemporary obstacles prevent the emergence of a regional identity among the peoples of this region. In promoting a common identity in this region, the functionalist approach would suggest the development of a habit of cooperation and sharing of visible benefits among the countries concerned in addressing specific policy problems. This seminar will explore the feasibility of this approach with a focus on such topics as trans-border migration, free trade area development, energy community development, and environmental cooperation. It will include a series of lectures and discussions led by experts from Northeast Asian countries and the U.S.

• Russian-Japanese Relations Seminar , Akaha, Tsuneo and Anna Vassilieva
  Both the Japanese and the Russian leaderships acknowledge that relations between their countries are \"abnormal.\" They also acknowledge that essentially the only problem dividing the two countries is the absence of a peace treaty due to the bilateral dispute over what the Japanese call the Northern Territories and the Russians refer to as the southern Kuriles. The dispute is a legacy of past history. Some analysts suggest the dispute is related to the issue of national identity in each country. Can Japan and Russia overcome the legacy of the past and forge a new relationship in the post-Cold War world? Will progress on the territorial dispute bring about a substantial change in other areas of relations? Are economic ties at the mercy of the state of political relations between Tokyo and Moscow? What role does each country play in the other\'s international policy? In its domestic politics? What are the prospects for closer cooperation between the two countries in both bilateral issues and in broader regional and global affairs? The seminar will take an interdisciplinary approach to these questions from Japanese and Russian perspectives and examine the bilateral relations at all levels - from human contacts, local and regional ties, business relations, and diplomatic and defense ties at the state level. It will also examine the impact of changes at the regional and global level on Japanese-Russian relations.

  Bilateral relationships among the U.S., Japan, and China are so complex and distinct from each other that improving trilateral cooperation often falls off the radar screen of most policy makers. Yet positive relations among these three key states are fundamental to peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region, and the rest of East Asia feels more secure when the three countries are engaging one anotherno country wants to have to choose among them. The three countries have a responsibility to work out differences and improve cooperation for their own national interests as well as to work productively with countries in the region. Jane Skanderup explores the possibility for future trilateral cooperation.

• Comparative Connections , Pacific Forum
  Bilateral relationships in East Asia have long been important to regional peace and stability, but in the post-Cold War environment, these relationships have taken on a new strategic rationale as countries pursue multiple ties, beyond those with the U.S., to realize complex political, economic, and security interests. How one set of bilateral interests affects a country\'s other key relations is becoming more fluid and complex, and at the same time is becoming more central to the region\'s overall strategic compass. Comparative Connections, Pacific Forum\'s quarterly electronic journal on East Asian bilateral relations edited by Brad Glosserman and Vivian Brailey Fritschi, with Ralph A. Cossa serving as senior editor, was created in response to this unique environment. Comparative Connections provides timely and insightful analyses on key bilateral relationships in the region, including those involving the U.S.

  Armacost and Okimoto's provocative book examines the United States' policy challenges in Northeast Asia. Substantial progress has been achieved in modernizing the US-Japan alliance. A shared US-ROK analysis of the North Korean challenge, and a common strategy for combating it, is now the urgent priority. Without it, the US-ROK alliance will not regain the relevance and promise that mark America’s relationship with Japan. Given the stakes, Washington and Seoul must summon the political will to address current problems promptly and purposefully. Written by some of the most eminent scholars and practitioners in the field, the chapters in this timely volume offer thoughtful suggestions to help policymakers achieve this goal.

• Multilateralism and National Strategy in Northeast Asia , Eberstadt, Nicholas, and Ralph Cossa
  Dr. Nicholas Eberstadt observes that South Korean leaders have implemented innovative policies that have allowed them to achieve remarkable levels of prosperity and a degree of independence from the United States.¡¦While South Korea has progressed from Third-World levels of poverty in the 1950s to near-Western levels of affluence today, North Korea has gone from an impressive period of economic growth in the 1950s to desperate need in the 1990s. The North has lost its communist benefactors; yet in the post-Cold War era it remains committed to reunification of the Korean Peninsula as a socialist state's strategy Eberstadt considers "completely irrelevant to the problems at hand." Continuing this policy will mean that "Pyongyang will be reduced to a tactical game of eking out extensions of its lease on life¡¦" Ralph Cossa addresses the benefits and prospects for multilateral, particularly nongovernmental, organizations in East Asia. After providing a useful summary of the major multilateral efforts, Cossa argues that all regional powers have much to gain by increased participation in multilateral security dialogues in the region. Such fora act as confidence-building measures that facilitate the prevention of crises, bring leaders together who would not otherwise be inclined to meet, and at the unofficial level allow for new initiatives to be floated that would be politically unfeasible to raise officially. Cossa points out that the U.S. commitment to multilateralism is built on the premise that such dialogues must complement existing bilateral relationships. Indeed, the U.S.-Japan security relationship must remain strong if Japan is to be trusted by its Asian neighbors in multilateral fora. Cossa also points out that such efforts should be used to encourage the constructive incorporation of Russia and China into East Asian economic and security dialogues.

  How did the three powers in the Asia-Pacific region - the United States, China, and Japan - adjust their relations in the uncertain environment after Tiananmen (June 4, 1989) and the end of the Cold War?

• Northeast Asian Regional Security: The Role of International Institutions , Inoguchi, Takashi; Stillman, Grant B.
  Northeast Asia is a region where both economic dynamism and power contestation are intensely manifested. Accordingly, some argue, North-East Asian regional security is bound to be volatile. It is a region to which such post-Cold War syndromes as the disappearance of Communism and the salience of ethnic conflicts do not apply. Because of these characteristics, others argue, North-East Asian regional security is not likely to experience much progress in terms of the promotion of common agendas based on institution building, whether it be in security, economic, or political realms. In this volume academics from the region develop their views of North-East Asian regional security and attempt to see how much can be done in terms of confidence and institution building. They discuss major issues of institution building schemes, national unification, and non-proliferation.

• Security and Arms Control in Northeast Asia , Yuan, Jing-dong
  This course introduces the basic principles of security, arms control, and nonproliferation and applies these concepts to the Northeast Asian region. The first part of the course presents some of the basic arms control concepts, describes the existing international organizations and regimes, provides a brief historical overview of the U.S.-Soviet arms control negotiation, and discusses contemporary issues in nuclear, chemical, biological and missile proliferation and international nonproliferation efforts. The second half of the course surveys arms control and nonproliferation issues in Northeast Asia, including the challenges of missile proliferation, missile defenses, and the evolving security dynamics in the region. It will review in detail the security and arms control policies of the major powers in the region and discuss the impact of their interactions on regional peace and stability. The central focus of the course is on preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical and biological weapons) and their delivery systems (ballistic and cruise missiles). The principal objective of the course is to give students a better understanding of the politics of arms control and nonproliferation as well as nonproliferation challenges such as export controls and verification in a changing international security environment. The course is also designed to cope with proliferation problems and the ways that arms control can contribute to national and regional security. A secondary objective is to introduce to students some of the literature and sources of information about security, arms control and nonproliferation. You will learn how and where to look when you have a question about nearly any spect of this topic. And finally, the course will help students to develop and improve their analytical skills, in particular their ability to distill vast amounts of information quickly into data that is useful for practical business and policy analysis.

• The Future of U.S.-Korea-Japan Relations , Kim, Tae-hyo and Glosserman, Brad
  The North Korean nuclear stalemate poses a stark challenge to tripartite security relations among the United States, South Korea, and Japan. How the North Korean issue is managed will redefine the security relationship among the three countries. In particular, how and to what extent the United States, South Korea, and Japan collaborate in the six-party talks (along with China and Russia) will demonstrate whether the trilateral process can play a constructive role in managing the security environment in Northeast Asia. In this volume, specialists from the three countries examine: how the security environment and state interests drive security relations among the United States, South Korea, and Japan; the impact of mutual economic collaboration on security cooperation; how ideological and cultural ties can bind a security community; the impact of domestic politics and public opinion on foreign policies (and vice versa); and how trilateral cooperation has been instrumental in dealing with the Korean Peninsula nuclear crisis. This book does not argue for stronger security ties among the three countries based solely on a shared understanding of the threats posed by North Korea. Nor does it look toward containment of a rising China or resurgent Russia for its strategic rationale. Rather, the authors argue for broadening the foundation on which the three nations¡¯ ties rest. A better understanding of the complex weave of interests and values that binds the United States, South Korea, and Japan will stabilize the relationships and make them more resilient and adaptable to future developments.

  Global stability in the early twenty-first century will be conditioned largely by how the United States handles its relations with China, Europe, and Russia¡ªthe \"geostrategic triad\"¡ªaccording to Zbigniew Brzezinski. Thus, the United States needs a well-defined strategy to manage the two \"Eurasian power triangles\": the United States, Japan, and China, and the United States, Europe, and Russia. With this work, he offers a comprehensive geostrategic road map for such U.S. engagement.
