Summary / Abstract (Note) | South Korea's military has invested heavily in capabilities to counter the asymmetric threat posed by the North - and given Israel's recent success in this regard against Hamas, it is not surprising that South Korea is seeking to learn lessons from its ally's experience. However, Soon Ho Lee explains why the Israeli approach to counter-asymmetric warfare cannot be directly applied to a potential conflict on the Korean Peninsula, due to its likely scale and the limitations of contemporary technology, as well as North Korea's efforts to fortify strategic targets within its territory. |
