The eventual reunification of the Korean Peninsula will send political and economic reverberations throughout Northeast Asia and will catalyze the struggle over a new regional order among the four great powers of the Pacific―Russia, China, Japan, and the United States. 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.

In Strategic Asia 2001-02: Power and Purpose, the nation's top Asia specialists and international relations experts outline the current strategic environment in the Asia Pacific and then ask what will "strategic Asia" look like in five to ten years. Current threats to peace and stability are assessed and, through innovative, long-term forecasts the authors consider how the strategic environment could change. Strategic Asia 2001-02 transcends traditional estimates of military balances by incorporating economic, political, and demographic data, and by focusing on the strategies and perceptions that drive policy in the region. 
Strategic Asia 2001-02 is the first in an annual series of independent assessments of the strategic situation in Asia, and provides an authoritative, source of information and analysis for the U.S. policymaking community, media, business sector, and academe. 
The book includes chapters from Aaron Friedberg (Introduction), Thomas Christensen (China), Kenneth Pyle and Eric Heginbotham (Japan), Nicholas Eberstadt (Korea), Rajan Menon (Russia), Ashley Tellis (South Asia), Sheldon Simon (Southeast Asia), and Michael Swaine (ballistic missile programs in Asia).

Strategic Asia 2003-04: Fragility and Crisis

Over the last two decades, relations between China and Russia have grown closer in ways that pose significant challenges for the United States and its allies and partners. Recently, as Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin have consolidated power, the two leaders have cultivated a strategic axis that, while not a formal alliance, aims to undermine the United States and other liberal nations while expanding Chinese and Russian influence abroad. In this volume, leading U.S. experts explore the contours of this emergent axis of authoritarians in multiple domains and consider policy options for the United States to strengthen its position and defend its interests.
