The significance of the KORUS FTA, which entered into force on March 15, 2012, extends far beyond the trade realm, reaching out to the strategic level. The agreement emphatically validates the relevance of the Korea-US alliance in the 21st century and underscores the importance of the trans-Pacific relationship amid the economic and cultural rise of East Asia. More importantly and in a larger perspective, the historic paradigm shift from raid to trade over the second half of the 20th century contextualizes all of these phenomena: as nations increasingly compete based on trade clout, traditional geopolitics are being challenged and redefined in new ways. East Asia is a prime example of this ongoing transformation.
