Book excerpt: The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, primarily ballistic missiles, put at risk the security of our nation, its people, deployed military forces, friends, and allies. The threat of ballistic missiles is especially true and prevalent in Northeast Asia. China and North Korea are seen as the top nations in the region when it comes to ballistic missiles. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan do not trust the intentions of China and North Korea and seek agreements to ensure their security. Since Northeast Asia plays an important role in the United States (U.S.) economic and security well being, the U.S. has been and will continue to develop and deploy Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) assets into the region. However, the U.S. policy to deploy BMD in Northeast Asia will affect the interests and security of the region as well as those of the U.S. Therefore, how should the U.S. proceed with BMD in the region? This Strategy Research Project provides an analysis of China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan's concerns and interests towards the U.S. policy providing us a better understanding of the region and how to proceed with BMD in order to build a stronger defense for the U.S., its friends, and allies.
