Northeast Asia is poised on the verge of major political change and potential strategic realignment. Although among the most dynamic and economically successful of geopolitical locales, the region as a whole is suffused with interstate rivalries, incipient arms competition and potential military conflicts. To be sure, the collective interests of the major regional powers argue strongly against the outbreak of overt armed hostilities, which could severely undermine a sustained record of unrivalled economic achievement. Moreover, US forward military presence, anchored closely to major bilateral alliances with South Korea and Japan, has helped serve as the primary guarantor of peace and stability in the west Pacific for decades.
