{"product_id":"2940148617013","title":"PROSPECTS FROM KOREAN REUNIFICATION","description":"Throughout the 1990s, predictions of Korean reunification were rife. Since then,\u003cbr\u003eenthusiasm for such predictions have faded, and although the underlying assumption\u003cbr\u003eof reunification remains, forecasts of when and how this will occur have been more\u003cbr\u003esubdued. Reunification poses two distinct yet interdependent conundrums: reunification\u003cbr\u003eitself, which is the immediate challenge; and the strategic landscape that emerges from\u003cbr\u003ereunification, which has the potential to fundamentally transform strategic relationships\u003cbr\u003ein Northeast Asia. Within this context, this paper examines the prospects from Korean\u003cbr\u003ereunification. Initially, it will establish the framework from which such prospects will\u003cbr\u003eemerge: the nature of the North Korean regime, the cost of reunification, and likely\u003cbr\u003ereunification scenarios. From this framework, a raft of challenges and opportunities\u003cbr\u003epresent themselves to the stakeholders in the region; and South Korea, China, the United\u003cbr\u003eStates and, to a lesser extent, Japan and Russia will be examined to determine prospects\u003cbr\u003efrom Korean reunification. The paper will suggest that China, at the expense of the United\u003cbr\u003eStates, has positioned itself to profoundly influence the nature of reunification, the “tilt”\u003cbr\u003eof a unified Korea, and with it, the future Northeast Asian strategic environment.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171566862576,"sku":"2940148617013","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148617013_p0.jpg?v=1763705739","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148617013","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
