This article summarizes the redefinition process of the ROK (the Republic of Korea)-U.S. alliance since 2002 and elaborates, with a focus on the relocation of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), the division of military-security roles inside the ROK-U.S. alliance, and the related debates on the future direction of this alliance. It is argued that through redefinition, the dual objective of “balance of interests”and “balance of threats” in the alliance has been basically achieved by the route of dual expansion, i.e. “expansion of defense area” and “expansion of connotation.”So far, the ROK-U.S. strategic alliance has been reconstructed and consolidated,and the ROK has made its strategic choice to develop an even closer alliance with the United States, while alienating itself from and hedging against China in the short and medium term. Thus, Sino-ROK relations are entering a period of strategic reawakening and mutual wariness at the critical juncture of the 20th anniversary of Sino-ROK diplomatic normalization.
Abstract
This article summarizes the redefinition process of the ROK (the Republic of Korea)-U.S. alliance since 2002 and elaborates, with a focus on the relocation of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), the division of military-security roles inside the ROK-U.S. alliance, and the related debates on the future direction of this alliance. It is argued that through redefinition, the dual objective of “balance of interests”and “balance of threats” in the alliance has been basically achieved by the route of dual expansion, i.e. “expansion of defense area” and “expansion of connotation.”So far, the ROK-U.S. strategic alliance has been reconstructed and consolidated,and the ROK has made its strategic choice to develop an even closer alliance with the United States, while alienating itself from and hedging against China in the short and medium term. Thus, Sino-ROK relations are entering a period of strategic reawakening and mutual wariness at the critical juncture of the 20th anniversary of Sino-ROK diplomatic normalization.
