In the early 1990s, for the first time since the Korean War (and particularly in the wake of German reunification), it became common to hear and even faddish to assert that the issue of Korean reunification by Southern absorption was no longer a question of “whether” but of “how and when.” And yet to think about Korean reunification today is to encounter a paradox. At no time since the end of World War II, when Korea was liberated and divided, has the prospect of Korean reunification perhaps seemed closer, yet never has the time horizon been so uncertain or extended. Fifteen years after the end of the Cold War, reunification no longer seems imminent, but the aspiration retains an aura of inevitability.
