Routledge - Peace Regime Building on the Korean Peninsula

Explore the complex security landscape of Northeast Asia with this academic study from Routledge. Despite the Korean War halting over fifty years ago, a formal peace treaty has not been signed, meaning the two Korean states remain technically at war. This volume addresses the tense and precarious situation on the peninsula, particularly the escalation of distrust following North Korea's underground nuclear tests. This book provides a conceptual look at building a permanent peace regime. It examines the relationship between the two Koreas and the dynamics involving the U.S. and North Korea. By analyzing the current state of regional security, this work offers essential insights into the two-track approach required to manage tensions and move toward stability in Northeast Asia. It is a necessary resource for those studying international relations and the ongoing geopolitical shifts in the region.
