The United States and Asia in 2008: A Time of Challenge
The Asian-Pacific scene at present is marked by turbulent economic conditions and varying degrees of political instability, yet foreign relations are relatively favorable. Two key issues in Northeast Asia—North Korean nuclearization and cross-Taiwan Straits relations—remain unresolved, but current trends are generally hopeful. In Southeast and South Asia, conditions have been marked by economic decline stemming from the domestic scene and promine…
The Japanese Domestic Scene and Foreign Policy
Ours is an era when the relation between a nation's domestic condition and its foreign policies has become increasingly close. Japan is no exception. That nation's post-1945 leadership, political institutions, and economic policies have combined with a cultural legacy, modified but still influential, to provide the foundations of contemporary Japanese foreign policy. While aspects of that foreign policy are now under intensive review and may unde…
The United States and Asia in 2007: A Region in Transition
Economic conditions in Asia are generally favorable, with growth rates remaining strong in all except a few nations. Political conditions vary, with certain states facing significant degrees of instability, especially the democracies. Three forces, internationalism, nationalism, and communalism continue to rise in Asia, with each nation faced with the challenge of handling these semiconflictual forces. On balance, however, events in 2007 support …
North Korea - Challenge for the Major Powers
Since North Korea is one of the world's most enigmatic societies, it is difficult to understand precisely the factors determining its policies. The prevailing power structure, the primary political considerations, and the stability of the current order are each subject to question. Meanwhile, a history of relations between the United States and North Korea reveals repeated movements forward followed by renewed breakdowns. In general terms, China …
U.S. Relations with North Korea
Given its reclusive nature, hard facts about North Korea are difficult to discern. However, the recent history of U. S.‐DPRK relations reveals periodic advances followed b y breakdowns, with disputes over critical details. Yet most recently, both parties have shown greater flexibility due to ongoing domestic conditions. It is premature to predict the outcome of the current dialogues. Many difficult is sues remain to be resolved but some hope is j…
The United States and Northeast Asia: Present and Future
Two issues have dominated the political‐security scene in Northeast Asia in recent times: the North Korean nuclear program and the issue of Taiwan's sovereignty. In both matters, the U.S. is deeply involved, and while the North Korean problem has shown recent progress, neither issue can be considered close to resolution. Meanwhile, U.S. relations with the major Northeast Asian powers vary. With Japan, the relationship is strongly positive. Relati…
Asia‐pacific security—the current balance of power
Power is a many‐faceted force in the contemporary world. Unquestionably, military strength, including the capacity to keep abreast of the revolutionary changes in military strategy now taking place

The United States and Asia in 1998: Summitry amid Crisis
With economic troubles for most Asian nations deepening, the global repercussions of that crisis were increasingly in evidence as 1998 moved toward a close. Even the strong U.S. economy was touched, as declining agricultural and aircraft exports to East Asia illustrated. Optimists saw signs that many Asian economies would witness an upturn in 1999. Pessimists spoke of the likelihood of a longer period of difficulty. In truth, no one had certain k…
Will China Democratize? Current Trends and Future Prospects
Will China Democratize?Current Trends and Future Prospects Robert A. Scalapino (bio) Firm predictions about the future of China are hazardous. Many variables, both domestic and international, can influence events, and few of them can be predicted with any certainty. Nonetheless, those who have undertaken a study of this society have the obligation to assign certain “probabilities” and “improbabilities” to various future scenarios, reassessing the…
The East Asian Prospect: Tale of Three Systems
The East Asian ProspectTale of Three Systems Robert A. Scalapino (bio) One of the interesting phenomena of the twentieth century is that virtually all political leaders have wanted to lay claim to the term "democracy." Hence we have had "people's democracy," "guided democracy," "Asian democracy," and what I regard as true democracy. Let me succinctly identify democracy's essential elements: first, genuine, regularized political choice for the cit…

Veteran oppositionist Kim Dae Jung of Korea's second party, the Democratic Party (DP), got 34 percent, while maverick p…

PREMIER Khrushchev's trip to Egypt marks the second round in what promises to be a titanic struggle between Russia and China for African affections. The Soviet leader has behaved in predictable fashion. He has condemned Western imperialism and pledged further assistance to African indepen dence movements, additional economic aid to emerging African states and support to the Arab world in its quarrel with Israel. Each of these positions represente…
Early Socialist Currents in the Chinese Revolutionary Movement: Sun Yat-sen Versus Liang Chʽi-chʽao
After a decade in power, the Chinese Communists have had enough time to change the past as well as the present. Voluminous documentary collections, monographs, and general treatises on modern Chinese history have been published. Many of these works are designed to tell how socialism was victorious over evil and oppression, why the Communists deserved to inherit the mantle of heaven. Modern Chinese history is being reconstructed, with one eye alwa…
"Neutralism" in Asia
Many Americans view "neutralism" as a new type of social disease. Its probable causes: intimacy in some form with communism; its symptoms: mental confusion and moral dereliction; its cure: unknown. This is a somber diagnosis, filled with implications of doom for the "victims." But our warnings and protests have been to little avail. Most "neutralists" have deliberately rejected them, and the "disease"-if that be its proper designation-has approac…

The Origins of the Korean Communist Movement (II)
In the summer of 1921, the Communist world was preparing for the first major conference of Far Eastern peoples. This conference was originally scheduled for Irkutsk in the late summer or early fall of that year. It was intended as a sequel to the Baku Conference of September 1920, which had been attended mainly by delegates from the Middle East. But it was also planned as the Soviet answer to the Washington Conference, as is well known. Competiti…

Japanese Socialism in Crisis
The Origins of the Korean Communist Movement (I)
The Korean Communists face a troublesome problem in recording their hiswtory. The first years of the Korean Communist movement are now regarded as a gigantic skeleton in the closet. Official party publications brush over them in a few paragraphs. Individual Communist leaders are almost all identified as petty bourgeois intellectuals, sectarians, deviationists, or factional wreckers. The Communist movement itself is recorded as a "failure" and a "…

North Korea Today
Ten years have passed since Kim Il Sung’s death and his son Kim Jong Il’s rule began. Paradoxically, increasing access to North Korea has produced more confusion than clarification about its internal reality and future direction. Political dueling in Washington, D.C., Seoul and elsewhere over North Korea’s present situation and future direction continues to blur perceptions of reality in North Korea. Supporters of US “engagement, ” or South Korea…
