About this Seminar
|
Although the ROK-U.S. alliance is encountering unprecedented new challenges, Professor Moon believes that it will survive and prosper due to the limited scope of anti-American sentiments in South Korea, its strategic value in maintaining regional peace and stability, and the pragmatism of the new leadership of South Korea. President-elect Roh Moo-hyun appreciates American values of liberty and democracy and understands well the contribution of American forces in South Korea. In facing new challenges of the alliance such as new threat perceptions and realignments of institutional arrangements, Professor Moon believes that the leadership of the ROK and the U.S. should enhance common interests through mutual trust, consultation and consensus building.

About the Seminar Program
|
The "Asian Voices: Promoting Dialogue between the US and Asia" Seminar Program seeks to provide a forum for Asian voices to be heard within the Washington community-voices on a wide range of regional and global topics. The Seminar Program, however, will not be restricted solely to Asia-Pacific issues, or US-Japan relations, but will focus on the broader global questions that confront both parts of the world.
