Description: The Republic of Korea's robust economy and diverse global interests are encouraging      ROK officials and scholars to contemplate a broader range of security interests than      they have in the past. ROK naval options are included in that spectrum. Though the      ROK remains preoccupied by a continental orientation, focused on the North Korean      threat, defense intellectuals in South Korea are interested in the following broader      security themes: SLOC defenses, regional naval security, industrial cooperation in naval      areas, and the possibilities of a Korean maritime strategy. The ROK seems interested in      expanding its naval horizons and capabilities, but those aspirations may be tempered by      changes in Northeast Asia which may alter the context in which Seoul must implement      its policies. Keywords: Sea lanes of communications; Maritime strategy. (edc)
