미국의 對이란 비핵화 전략

Abstract

The international community, including the United States, is seeking peace and stability. Despite the efforts of the international community, terrorism and nuclear threats are rampant everywhere. In the case of the United States against Iran, a confrontational phase developed by the Bush administration's tough response to Iran's nuclear program in Ahmadinejad, and the Obama administration strengthened sanctions even more in response to President Ahmadinejad's uncompromising will to develop nuclear weapons. After the regime change in Iran, President Rouhani, unlike the previous President Ahmadinejad, negotiated with President Obama in a P5+1 method. But President Trump overturns it and returns to strong economic sanctions against Iran. The process of denuclearization between the United States and Iran unfolds in a ‘give and take’ manner according to the strategy of the actors’ choices. This study seeks to find out why the US has returned to the original sanctions regime without resolving the Iran nuclear issue. This study develops the denuclearization negotiation process between the United States and Iran centered on the actors, and considers the biggest factor influencing denuclearization as support from third countries. Furthermore, as an effective way to resolve Iran's denuclearization issue, multilateral negotiations rather than bilateralism are suggested to be important.
