"The United States–South Korea Alliance: Why It May Fail and Why It Must Not" by Scott Snyder

The alliance between the United States and South Korea has endured through seven decades of shifting regional and geopolitical security contexts. In The United States–South Korea Alliance: Why It May Fail and Why It Must Not, Scott A. Snyder details the challenges it now faces from domestic political turmoil in both countries, including deepening political polarization and rising nationalism, which has cast doubt on the alliance’s viability—with critical implications for the balance of power in East Asia.
