주요내용 In the seminal 1979 classic Theory of International Politics, Kenneth Waltz identified the benefits a state can derive if its security is underwritten. According to Waltz, if security is assured, a state can: “safely seek such other goals as tranquility, profit, and power.”[1] South Korea is an example of exactly that. From the ashes of the Korean War that raged on from 1950 to 1953 and the subsequent seven decades to follow, the United States-Republic of Korea (US-ROK) alliance has fostered an atmosphere of sustained peace and stability that has contributed to the ROK’s successful political and economic transformation. Today, South Korea stands among the world’s most productive and prosperous countries.
