This study examines the generic roles of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) in post-cold war Northeast Asia and the specific functions of economic and environmental CBMs. Special attention is paid to the domestic roots of these CBMs in Japan, South Korea (ROK), and North Korea (DPRK), and their impact on each country's policies regionally. Environmental CBMs are evolving within the context of strategic and economic CBMs in Northeast Asia, but they possess unique characteristics on the governmental and non-governmental organization (NGO) levels. The importance of environmental CBMs in the post-cold war era are described and contrasted in this report and their efficacy is evaluated as instruments to reduce regional tensions ; Office of Naval Intelligence, Ocean Sciences Branch ; http://archive.org/details/northeastasianco00olse ; Office of Naval Intelligence ; NA ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

Against that background it is important for Americans to understand why New Zealanders adhere to their policies and grasp why those policies, and the rationale behind them are relevant for alliance cohesion in Northeast Asia. ; Prepared for: Chief of Naval Operations, Washington, D.C. ; http://archive.org/details/anzusnortheastas00olse ; O&MN, Direct Funding ; NA ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
