A comparative case study of the U.S.-Philippines alliance in the 1990s and the U.S.-South Korea alliance between 1998 and 2008: Alliance (dis)continuation

This article compares the discontinuation of the U.S.-Philippines alliance between 1992 and 1999 with the continuation of the U.S.-South Korea alliance between 1998 and 2008. Whether either country reconciled with the U.S. to accommodate the latter's core military strategy was a primary determining factor of the different outcomes.
