Reports the results of a two-day workshop that brought together a diverse group of modelers, specialists in international relations, and thinkers about power from both the public and the private sectors to consider how to measure state power and the power of non-state actors, and forms of "soft" power. On the first day, the group discussed state power on three levels: resources or capabilities, or power in being; (2) how that power is converted through national processes; (3) and power in outcomes, or which state prevails in particular circumstances. The second day focused on the changing state system. States now have more competitors-so called non-state actors. They range from terrorists and drug traffickers to advocacy groups, think tanks, and private corporations. Participants discussed how both states and non-state actors wield power on a continuum ranging from persuasion, through economic aid, to military action. The group's members agreed that their next steps should be to improve formulations and enhance models for forecasting power, and to develop scenarios as a means of adding vividness and exploring discontinuities.

The theater missile defense debate, North Korea's ballistic missile program, and ongoing discussions concerning South Korea's next-generation combat aircraft have heightened awareness of the importance of aerospace power to South Korea's defenses. To assess these and related issues, the Second International Air Power Conference was held June 11-12, 1999, in Seoul. The conference addressed South Korea's military force structure in the 21st century, the role of air and space power in future deterrence and defense missions, the ballistic missile threat, and collaboration on the development of air power. It is expected that the findings in this document, a compilation of the 15 papers delivered at the conference, will have important implications for South Korea's national security, defense planning, force structuring, and air defense modernization programs.
