    The North Korean Nuclear Challenge: Military Options and Issues for Congress Kathleen J. McInnis, Coordinator Analyst in International Security Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces Mark E. Manyin Specialist in Asian Affairs Steven A. Hildreth Specialist in U.S. and Foreign National Security Programs Mary Beth D. Nikitin Specialist in Nonproliferation Emma Chanlett-Avery Specialist in Asian Affairs November 6, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44994 The North Korean Nuclear Challenge: Military Options and Issues for Congress Summary North Korea’s apparently successful July 2017 tests of its intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities, along with the possibility that North Korea (DPRK) may have successfully miniaturized a nuclear warhead, have led analysts and policymakers to conclude that the window for preventing the DPRK from acquiring a nuclear missile capable of reaching the United States is closing. These events appear to have fundamentally altered U.S. perceptions of the threat the Kim Jong-un regime poses to the continental United States and the international community, and escalated the standoff on the Korean Peninsula to levels that have arguably not been seen since 1994. A key issue is whether or not the United States could manage and deter a nuclear-armed North Korea if it were to become capable of attacking targets in the U.S. homeland, and whether taking decisive military action to prevent the emergence of such a DPRK capability might be necessary. Either choice would bring with it considerable risk for the United States, its allies, regional stability, and global order. Trump Administration officials have stated that “all options are on the table,” to include the use of military force to “denuclearize”—generally interpreted to mean eliminating nuclear weapons and related capabilities from that area.

  • The Relationship Between Mosquito Abundance and Rice Field Density In
    Richards et al. International Journal of Health Geographics 2010, 9:32 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ij-healthgeographics.com/content/9/1/32 OF HEALTH GEOGRAPHICS RESEARCH Open Access TheResearch relationship between mosquito abundance and rice field density in the Republic of Korea Erin E Richards*1, Penny Masuoka1, David Brett-Major1,2, Matthew Smith3, Terry A Klein4, Heung Chul Kim5, Assaf Anyamba3 and John Grieco1 Abstract Background: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), the causative agent of Japanese encephalitis (JE), is endemic to the Republic of Korea (ROK) where unvaccinated United States (U.S.) military Service members, civilians and family members are stationed. The primary vector of the JEV in the ROK is Culex tritaeniorhynchus. The ecological relationship between Culex spp. and rice fields has been studied extensively; rice fields have been shown to increase the prevalence of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. This research was conducted to determine if the quantification of rice field land cover surrounding U.S. military installations in the ROK should be used as a parameter in a larger risk model that predicts the abundance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations. Mosquito data from the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) mosquito surveillance program were used in this project. The average number of female Cx. tritaeniorhynchus collected per trap night for the months of August and September, 2002-2008, was calculated. Rice fields were manually digitized inside 1.5 km buffer zones surrounding U.S. military installations on high-resolution satellite images, and the proportion of rice fields was calculated for each buffer zone. Results: Mosquito data collected from seventeen sample sites were analyzed for an association with the proportion of rice field land cover.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the CONSTRUCTION of US CAMPTOWN PROSTITUTION in SOUTH KOREA
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE CONSTRUCTION OF U.S. CAMPTOWN PROSTITUTION IN SOUTH KOREA: TRANS/FORMATION AND RESISTANCE Na Young Lee, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Professor Seung-kyung Kim Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation examines the historical construction and transformation of U.S. camptown prostitution (kijich’on prostitution) in South Korea. Wrought by Japanese colonialism, U.S. military occupation, national division, and the Korean War, camptown prostitution has been historically constructed and reconstructed within a complex web of dynamic power relations between/among nation-states, subjects, and NGOs. This is a study of U.S. camptown prostitution, however, which is not just about military prostitution. Rather, it is a study of the power dynamics inherent in the material basis and the discursive formations that make the phenomenon, kijich’on prostitution, substantial. As such, this study analyzes the multiple intersections of structures of power that constitute the kijich’on. The purpose of this study is 1) to provide a geneology to explain the socio- historical phases of camptown prostitution, 2) to gauge the impacts of inter-state relations, U.S. military policy, and (inter)national policies on the kijich’on and kijich’on prostitution, 3) to trace the roles and activities of Korean NGOs and women’s organizations with regard to kijich’on prostitution, and finally 4) to understand the triangular relationship among the nation-states, women subjects, and movement organizations in (re)constructing kijich’on prostitution as both material reality and symbolic metaphor. Thus, the research questions at the center of this dissertation are directed towards four themes: historicizing kijich’on prostitution, understanding the role of the nation-states and NGOs in the process of construction and transformation of the kijich’on, deconstructing the policies that have impacted kijich’on prostitution and the women’s movement against kijich’on prostitution.
