| Research Abstract |
Aims of the research are to understand the present condition of the multilateral security framework in East Asia utilizing U.S. military presence effectively and investigate the various terms of the individual security cooperation. Based on that, this research attempted to materialize the security cooperation paradigm in the feasible and multidimensional levels by finding out the regional and functional cooperation regimes and combining/comparing them.
Especially, this study showed that how the reorganization of the U.S. military in Okinawa which has been placed as a hub of the U.S. military presence influences the regional security framework. We anticipated the future developments of the reorganization of the U.S military in East Asia in terms of historical as well as structural and functional ways. The results of the research follow in below.
We collected data which has not been even mentioned about its existence among scholars and media people. In analyzing these documents, the transformation of the US military presence in Okinawa became apparent. In terms of forward-deployment capability, strategic lift in contingency and interoperability in peace-time have been emphasized. However, the relocation plan announced in December 1996, that U.S. marine air station would be relocated in the northern area of Okinawa island based on the reorganization plan of the U.S. military bases in Okinawa (a.k.a. SACO agreement), in fact, abandoned the strategic lift in emergency and interoperability in peace-time. This indicates the transformation of the U.S. military presence.
We regret that we were not able to focus on the conditions of U.S. military bases in other regions as much as the bases in Okinawa which is the hub of the U.S. military presence. One of the reasons that there are few accesses to the object of study is the poor availability of public information regarding U.S. military presence.
