초록
The North Korean nuclear issue has become one of international importance since North Korea’s withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and acquisition of nuclear capabilities. It threatens both the US and its Asian allies even as the DPRK regime reveals its intentions for more sophisticated nuclear tests. The international community has two rational options: 1) wait for collapse of the DPRK regime 2) and/or restart diplomatic negotiations to settle the North Korean nuclear issue. Currently, the Six Party Talks enacts tough economic sanctions on the DPRK while the world “waits and sees” how and when the DPRK’s regime will collapse. Given the failure of the international community in preventing the North Koreans from acquiring atomic weaponry, this article describes why diplomatic negotiation and reengagement with the DPRK’s existing regime, not a collapsism framework, is the most viable strategy to deal with the prevailing situation in the Korean Peninsula which, in turn, could ensure peace and stability in the East Asian region.
Abstract
The North Korean nuclear issue has become one of international importance since North Korea’s withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and acquisition of nuclear capabilities. It threatens both the US and its Asian allies even as the DPRK regime reveals its intentions for more sophisticated nuclear tests. The international community has two rational options: 1) wait for collapse of the DPRK regime 2) and/or restart diplomatic negotiations to settle the North Korean nuclear issue. Currently, the Six Party Talks enacts tough economic sanctions on the DPRK while the world “waits and sees” how and when the DPRK’s regime will collapse. Given the failure of the international community in preventing the North Koreans from acquiring atomic weaponry, this article describes why diplomatic negotiation and reengagement with the DPRK’s existing regime, not a collapsism framework, is the most viable strategy to deal with the prevailing situation in the Korean Peninsula which, in turn, could ensure peace and stability in the East Asian region.
