This paper takes a look at the recent developments of North Korea’s nuclear issues and analyzes the U.S. policies toward those issues. It sees the American policies as chaotic and without coherence. Even though the Obama administration declares that it would maintain its policy of diplomatic solutions, it is fallen into the “horns of a dilemma”: that the U.S. government cannot want to have an official meeting with North Korea for fear of giving formal recognition of North Korea as a nuclear state, and that it cannot just disengage and leave North Korea free to develop their nuclear and missile capabilities. As the effectiveness of the denuclearization policy has proved to be controversial, this paper intends to pay more attention to a “comprehensive approach” in dealing with the North Korea problem with emphasis on the essential cooperative relations between the U.S. and China, which give the impression that China is backing off from supporting North Korea, and going beyond international sanctions against Pyongyang. Starting from the peace process among four countries including both Koreas, the U.S. and China the comprehensive approach would help overcome the constant threats of North Korea’s nuclear weapons. The dilemma situation of American policy toward North Korea demands the serious consideration of the historical elements which have shaped the North Korean way of thinking and living over the last century.
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the recent developments of North Korea’s nuclear issues and analyzes the U.S. policies toward those issues. It sees the American policies as chaotic and without coherence. Even though the Obama administration declares that it would maintain its policy of diplomatic solutions, it is fallen into the “horns of a dilemma”: that the U.S. government cannot want to have an official meeting with North Korea for fear of giving formal recognition of North Korea as a nuclear state, and that it cannot just disengage and leave North Korea free to develop their nuclear and missile capabilities. As the effectiveness of the denuclearization policy has proved to be controversial, this paper intends to pay more attention to a “comprehensive approach” in dealing with the North Korea problem with emphasis on the essential cooperative relations between the U.S. and China, which give the impression that China is backing off from supporting North Korea, and going beyond international sanctions against Pyongyang. Starting from the peace process among four countries including both Koreas, the U.S. and China the comprehensive approach would help overcome the constant threats of North Korea’s nuclear weapons. The dilemma situation of American policy toward North Korea demands the serious consideration of the historical elements which have shaped the North Korean way of thinking and living over the last century.
