Abstract
The Korean peninsula is a security flashpoint in the Asia-Pacific region. As a heavily armed peninsula, divided Korea continues to act not only as the focal point of armed confrontation between the two hostile regimes and states—the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the North and the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the South—but also as a strategic fulcrum among the four major world powers maintaining active interests in and surrounding the Korean peninsula, i.e., the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and Japan. The intersection of these two contending forces and prevailing trends, the inter-Korean rivalry, and the major power relations between them create a situation of real and potential regional conflict, making the Korean peninsula one of the most sensitive security barometers in today’s world politics.KeywordsKorean PeninsulaMajor PowerMilitary ExerciseAsian SecurityArmistice AgreementThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
