There are four main options for North Korea in terms of its diplomacy with foreign powers these are all investigated in a section on the framework of the analysis. The four foreign policy strategies are balancing, conflictual bandwagoning, coercive diplomacy, and offensive revisionist. These are all explained in detail along with a historical analysis to provide examples of the policies in use over the last 10 years. The conclusion brings together the main points of the study and looks to future prospects for North Korea and its relations with the rest of the world.
Abstract
This study examines the dilemma of North Korea’s foreign policy in the 10 years of Kim Jong-un’s regime.

Therefore, this study aims to provide a meaningful evaluation of North Korea’s foreign policy over the past decade. A particular focus of this research is looking at how North Korea has adapted its foreign policy in light of the security challenges brought about by strengthening its military capabilities. The study starts with a comprehensive literature review to put the question into context. Relations with countries across the world are analyzed, in particular, foreign policy initiatives as regards with the US, China, and Russia. There are four main options for North Korea in terms of its diplomacy with foreign powers these are all investigated in a section on the framework of the analysis. The four foreign policy strategies are balancing, conflictual bandwagoning, coercive diplomacy, and offensive revisionist. These are all explained in detail along with a historical analysis to provide examples of the policies in use over the last 10 years.
