In the past 40 years, arms control has become a central activity of international relations, playing a critical role in underpinning the balance of power. This book examines the security situation on the Korean Peninsula and the potential for using arms control to reduce tension and enhance confidence between the two Koreas. Lessons are drawn from the European experience before going on to examine the Korean situation and applying the European model to it. Also addressed are the points of German arms control policies as a divided state and Germany's position on the front line of the European Cold War, considering its relevance to the Korean situation. The third part of the book explores the regional development with respect to Korean arms control and the regional arms control mechanisms. This is for the management of the high level of regional forces and potential conflicts between the rival powers in Northeast Asia. The most promising avenues for the application of the European arms control measures to the Korean Peninsula are also examined.

A blueprint of the confidence building between two Koreas,
By jnmoon@hotmail.com (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ending the Last Cold War: Korean Arms Control and Security in Northeast Asia (Hardcover)
As a colleague working in the Arms Control Office of the Korean Ministry of National Defense, I would like to make a review on this book for those interested in Korean issues. Some say that history never repeats itself and there is nothing to learn form it. But still it is absolutely true that there is no future without the past. So it is natural to take a look at the success story of the European arms control efforts culminated in the German unification, and try to extract from them anything useful for the future. In this vein, this book presents a concise summary of arms control experiences in Europe and discussions on the applicability of the European arms control model to Northeast Asia and two Koreas. The author (Col. Dr. Lee) points out both the penetrating similarities between two regions' arms control environment that should be exploited and the fundamental disparities that shouldn't be overlooked, which comprise the essential guidelines for drawing the actual blueprints of confidence and security building in this final battlefield of the cold war.
