Policy Forum 07-056: US Missile Defense In Northeast Asia and the Rule of Law in Japan: Evidence from the July 5, 2006 North Korean Missile Test

Umebayashi Hiromichi, Founder and President of Peace Depot, a non-profit organization for peace research and education in Japan, writes, “The use of US bases in Japan directly for the defense of the United States proper is something quite new. Strict rule of law must be followed in relation to the military, and particularly in case of a foreign military using the territory of an independent state it is more necessary than ever in this circumstance to reaffirm the importance of keeping the military strictly within the rule of law.”

Policy Forum 06-73A: Visualizing a North Korean ‘Bold Switchover’: International Financial Institutions and Economic Development in the DPRK

Bradley O. Babson, a consultant on Asian affairs specializing in Korea and Northeast Asian economic cooperation, writes, “By combining a phased approach to building a role for the World Bank in North Korea with a TRM supported by donors who provide both political aid and development assistance, it is possible to imagine a viable roadmap for moving forward with a complex and challenging agenda.
