Korea's Future and the Great Powers addresses the vital issues of how to achieve a stable political order in a unified Korea, how to finance Korean economic reconstruction, and how to link Korea into a cooperative framework of international diplomatic relations. "Korea stands today at the pivot point of history. Yet few in Beijing, Moscow, Tokyo, or Washington appear to have thought much beyond their desire to preserve the status quo. Nicholas Eberstadt, Richard Ellings, and their co-authors aim to shake analysts and policy makers from complacency and to alert them to the strategic and economic challenges that lie ahead. This book should top the reading list of all those concerned with the future of Korea, and of the entire Asia-Pacific region." --Aaron L. Friedberg, Princeton University "Devising a new architecture for peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and the region . . . is an urgent task confronting the Pacific powers and the international community.
