Abstract
The post-Cold War US-South Korea alliance has been publicly pronounced as having become less cohesive over time. How can we prove this change of the alliance over time? This paper attempts to empirically test this change of the US-South Korea alliance after the end of the Cold War, using four significant operational indicators: homogeneity in goals, threat perception, strategic compatibility and command structure. After looking at how these four operational indicators have changed over time, the authors verify in more concrete terms the changes of the alliance cohesion in the post-Cold War period.
