From the Paper:

"July of 2003 will mark the 50th anniversary of the truce agreement between North Korea (the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) and the United Nations Command which has resulted in a divided Korea into South and North. Technically, the truce agreement did not bring about an end to the undeclared Korean War and so a virtual state of war still exists since an armistice was never signed to settle the dispute. The division of North and South Korean is one of the few remaining vestiges of the Cold War, and calls for the unification of Korea have intensified since 2000 when the South and the North took steps to advance the reconciliation and unity of the two Koreas. This paper will argue against a quick unification of North and South Korea on the grounds that it would have dire results for the South."
