ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book begins from the premise that Korean peace regime building should be geared toward a peaceful unification, not the perpetuation of the division, of the Korean peninsula. It provides 'a more effective, multilateral effort to achieve a peaceful end to North Korea's WMD programs'. The book comprises a theoretical discussion on Korean peace regime building as well as pragmatic policy recommendations to reach the goal. Yong-Sup Han examines arms control as an approach to the Korean peace regime building process. Seong-Ryol Cho examines KPPR's implications for the United Nations Command and the U. S. forces in Korea (USFK). Olsen reviews historical legacies for US policy toward the Korean peninsula and then offers two imaginative and innovative ideas for the U. S. role for Korean peace process.
