Toward Normalizing U.S. Korea Relations

the long version

"Considering the future of U.S.-Korea relations, Edward Olsen first provides a rich assessment of the political, economic, and strategic factors that have shaped - and flawed - U.S. policy toward the Korean Peninsula since World War II.". "Olsen suggests that the prospect of permanent separation has become integral to U.S. policy toward both Korean states. Offering counterintuitive recommendations for reinvigorating the "in due course" paradigm, his analysis is firmly grounded in the current debate about the course of U.S. foreign policy in general and, in particular, its role in the East Asian context."--BOOK JACKET.
