This paper explores the impact of Korean reunification on the security environment in Northeast Asia and the implications of Korean reunification on U.S. forward presence in the region. Special attention is given to assessing the perspectives of the major Asian nations of the PRC, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regarding U.S. military forward basing in the sub-region following Korea reunification. This project reviews relations between the major powers in Northeast Asia, including the economic, political, cultural and historical, and security dimensions.
