While Russia and China withdrew the last of their forces in 1958, the United States maintains 37,000 troops in South Korea and is pledged to defend it with nuclear weapons. In Korean Endgame, Selig Harrison mounts the first authoritative challenge to this long-standing U.S. policy. Harrison shows why North Korea is not--as many policymakers expect--about to collapse. And he explains why existing U.S. policies hamper North-South reconciliation and reunification. Assessing North Korean capabilities and the motivations that have led to its forward deployments, he spells out the arms control concessions by North Korea, South Korea, and the United States necessary to ease the dangers of confrontation, centering on reciprocal U.S. foce redeployments and U.S. withdrawals in return for North Korean pullbacks from the thirty-eighth parallel UR - http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt7tb7q UR - https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt7tb7q SN - 9781400814336 SN - 9781400824915 SN - 1400814332 SN - 069109604X SN - 9780691116266 SN - 1400824915 SN - 9780691096049 SN - 0691116261 T2 - A Century Foundation book UR - https://www.pollux-fid.de/r/kxp-1003607098 H1 - Pollux (Fachinformationsdienst Politikwissenschaft) ER -
