초록
In the 40 years since the end of World War II, the most critical strategic problem for the US was containment of the Soviet Union. The coercive diplomacy and the coercion literature have proved to be less rich and less cumulative than that of other political theories. However, the US administrations after the fall of the Soviet Union have implemented coercive diplomacy to influence their adversaries. The non-proliferation policy of the US was no exception. From a basis of dominant military strength and economic power, the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump administrations attempted to dismantle the nuclear programmes of Iran by coercive diplomacy. Thus, this paper focuses on the non-proliferation coercive diplomacy of the US against the ‘axis of evil’ of Iran in order to examine the dispute process as a whole and to provide more efficient policy proposals regarding the subject. The nuclear developments of “Axis of Evil” have long histories of sanctions and military threats from the international community. However, pressure from the international community, which is mostly led by the US, has not shown tangible success in dismantling their nuclear programmes nor in halting their development. With its historic 2015 JCPOA agreement gone, Iran is proclaiming its rights to operate a nuclear reactor and enrich uranium and under the Trump’s ‘Maximum Pressure’, which carries the potential of transforming into a weapons programme.
Abstract
In the 40 years since the end of World War II, the most critical strategic problem for the US was containment of the Soviet Union. The coercive diplomacy and the coercion literature have proved to be less rich and less cumulative than that of other political theories. However, the US administrations after the fall of the Soviet Union have implemented coercive diplomacy to influence their adversaries. The non-proliferation policy of the US was no exception. From a basis of dominant military strength and economic power, the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump administrations attempted to dismantle the nuclear programmes of Iran by coercive diplomacy. Thus, this paper focuses on the non-proliferation coercive diplomacy of the US against the ‘axis of evil’ of Iran in order to examine the dispute process as a whole and to provide more efficient policy proposals regarding the subject. The nuclear developments of “Axis of Evil” have long histories of sanctions and military threats from the international community. However, pressure from the international community, which is mostly led by the US, has not shown tangible success in dismantling their nuclear programmes nor in halting their development. With its historic 2015 JCPOA agreement gone, Iran is proclaiming its rights to operate a nuclear reactor and enrich uranium and under the Trump’s ‘Maximum Pressure’, which carries the potential of transforming into a weapons programme.
