East Asian Strategic Review (2003) By The National Institute For Defense Studies Japan
 
The East Asian Strategic Review is intended to provide views on the strategic environment and security situations of East Asia. This annual report is published in Japanese and English.
 
This annual review covers trends in the security environment of East Asia over the 12-month period ending December 31, 2002. The year 2002 began amid the war against terrorism triggered by the terrorist attacks on the United States in September of the previous year. From the middle of the year, as the international community sought to halt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), tensions over Iraq and North Korea mounted and 2002 ended without the prospect of a solution to these issues. The situation may well have changed by the time this report appears, but we would be pleased if its publication offers some assistance in coming to terms with the question of North Korea.
