Excerpt
Excerpt: As a new millennium dawns over the Korean peninsula, millenary hopes and expectations are very much in evidence among students of Korean affairs. Half a century after the surprise attack that launched the Korean War, almost 5 decades into the continuing high-tension military standoff that has followed the 1953 Korean War ceasefire, there is suddenly a pervasive and growing anticipation that this tormented and divided nation may now be on the threshold of a new and momentous era: an era of genuine peace, in which the ?Cold War structure on the Korean peninsula? is at last dismantled, and a reconciliation between the antagonist governments based in Pyongyang (the Democratic People?s Republic of Korea, or D.P.R.K.) and Seoul (the Republic of Korea, or R.O.K.) commences in earnest.
