      abstract = {This book investigates the history and role of the United  Nations Command (UNC), which is important not only for the  Korean Peninsula but also for East Asian security. The UNC  has played a crucial role in maintaining peace on the  Korean Peninsula divided by South and North Korea for the  past 70 years. However, little is known about how the U.S.  administration has perceived the role of the UNC and what  policies it has implemented. It is known that the Nixon,  Ford, and Carter administrations tried to dismantle the UNC  in the 1970s, but eventually decided to reduce it rather  than eliminate it. In this context, this study greatly  helps us understand the true importance of the UNC by  finding out the decisive reason why the U.S. did not remove  it. According to the study, past official documents  confirmed that the U.S. has recognized the UNC as the basis  for maintaining the regime of the armistice on the Korean  Peninsula. Historically, no studies have tracked U.S.  policy on the UNC through primary data. Currently, the U.S.  is implementing a policy to revitalize the UNC, which had  been reduced, in order to stabilize the East Asian region.  Some say that the U.S. is trying to establish a kind of  regional security system centered on the UNC. In any case,  the study is crucial to understanding the true role of the  UNC, which has recently attracted immense attention.  Therefore, this book would be intriguing for experts around  the world who are interested in the security in the Korean  Peninsula.},
