Sources of US commitment toward Korea -- The rise of Korean expectation and decline of US commitment to Korea, 1882-1901 -- Great power rivalry and US assessment at the outbreak of the war -- US diplomacy and the Japanese imposition of protectorate on Korea -- Vision of cooperation among the allies and the four-power trusteeship plan for Korea -- Emergence of the bipolar perception and a missed opportunity for diplomacy-- Consolidation of the bipolar perception and US suggestion of the thirty-eighth parallel -- Uncertain strategic situation and rise of competing recommendations toward Korea -- The reemergence of a multipolar vision and the decision for withdrawal from Korea -- The erosion of multipolar perception and the road to intervention -- Conclusion : US commitment toward South Korea since 1950.

This book examines how and why American commitment toward Korea changed during the three US presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D.Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman. While focusing on the statesmen's perceptions of strategic situation as main locus of analysis, it reconstructs the process of assessment, decision-making, and diplomatic negotiations. This book demonstrates that the US policies toward Korea were shaped by the US decision-makers' broader concerns about great power relations in East Asia and the world, rather than their immediate concerns about the development in the Korean peninsula. This realist explanation of history sets forth clear and timely terms of debate about the currentchanges in the US-South Korean alliance as well. By showing the dramatic unfolding of US occupation, withdrawal, and intervention in the Korean peninsula, this book also sheds light on the broader issue of US military occupations of other countries in the twentieth first century.
