Japan and the two Koreas: The challenges and prospects of confidence-building

Magbadelo John O

Abstract

The millenary relations between Korea and Japan have been intense, fruitful and conflictive. They are now largely determined, in the wider regional context, by the evolving power equation between China, Russia and the USA whose rivalries resulted in the division of Korea into two inimical states, Both Japan and China are interested in the stability of the Korean peninsula on the basis of the “status quo”.
