Consequences Of The Denuclearization Of North Korea

The United States has been experiencing high levels of contention in all aspects with North Korea since the 19th century. However, since then those relations have not subsided. Recently many felt North Korea’s test missiles and nukes have threatened the peace and safety of the community. As told so by the South Korean foreign ministry. This is one reason why Americans should care about the relations between the U.S and North Korea because, if North Korea is able to make their country powerful through the sourcing of manual labor, this is a prime example of the outcomes attainable if the United States and North Korea worked in unison with each other. Ultimately the Koreans and the United States will both be able to create a successful and powerful

North Korea, formally known as the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a relic of the Cold War and the world’s last remaining totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship. Arguably the most secretive state in the world, North Korea poses a unique set of challenges to the world, especially to its democratic and capitalist neighbor, South Korea, formally known as the Republic of Korea (ROK). As one of the last remnants of the Cold War era, North Korea remains an anomaly of the international system due to its unpredictable nature and disregard for international norms. With the recent bombardment of the South Korean Island of Yeongpyong and the sinking of the warship Cheonan, tensions between the two Koreas are at the lowest point since

The U.S. helped to divide the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II, and then waged war against North Korea in the 1950s. Although the U.S. signed a peace agreement rather than a peace treaty with North Korea after the war, its policy toward the country changed. Instead of trying to overthrow the North Korea government, the U.S. government adopted a policy of containing communism. During the 1980’s, associations between North Korea and the U.S. start to take on a new diplomatic form. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program had become a pressing international issue

Since the 1950’s North Korea has posed as dangerous threat to The United States and its allies. With North Korea development of Nuclear arms and its consistent hostile rhetoric and actions towards the United States. With the North Korea’s development of a long range ICBM, more now than ever the United States has been put into a position where its and many of its

In the article “Should the United take more aggressive action to prevent North Korea from building a nuclear arsenal?”, it explains how the power of possessing lethal weapons can affect international affairs, and this is a concern that U.S. wants to prevent a war. The article describes how this became an issue after the Korean War; U.S. tried to prevent communism to spread, so in order to do it, the Peninsula of Korea was divided in the 38th parallel, making North Korea communism and South Korea democrat supported by the U.S. Furthermore, the article argued about the nuclear arsenal that North Korea possess since the early 2000’s and U.S. tried to stop them to develop such weapon. In order to make them stop, U.S. and many other countries tries

East Asia continues to present a broad spectrum of opportunities and challenges to the United States, our allies, and partners. The United States Government (USG) and Department of Defense (DoD) continues to work closely with its allies and partners to build relationships and capacity vital to advancing U.S. national interests of security, prosperity, international order, and the promotion of universal values. The most profound and alarming trend within the East Asia region over the past several years is the increasing belligerence and defiance of the Kim Jung-un regime of North Korea. The United States regards the coercive activities by North Korea, in particular its pursuit of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile capabilities, to comprise the most urgent security threat in the region. The USG is fully committed to maintaining peace throughout the Korean Peninsula by effectively working with our allies and other regional states to deter and defend against North Korean military provocations, weapons proliferation, and illicit trafficking; and to support enforcement of international sanctions restricting North Korean arms trade and other prohibited activities.

Many people are at risk due to North Korea’s nuclear threats. The allies of the United States and the security of the country are as well. North Korea threatens the United States with nuclear weapons, therefore we must reach out to the allies of the US to help pressure North Korea and use the existing laws to the full extent against North Korea’s forbidden activities.

While explaining the importance of negotiation between the U.S. and North Korea, the two authors effectively portrayed a clear rhetorical situation. The authors intelligibly supply reasons as to why negotiations need to take place in order to prevent the situation from getting worse. The author’s intended audience would be: U.S. citizens, the media, North Korea, and politicians. The circumstances forming this event are also properly discussed, allowing for a clear context to be provided to the reader. Tensions are high and actions needs to be taken. Primarily dealing with the importance of negotiation, the topic of this article discusses how the U.S. needs to begin bartering with the North Korea. The authors standings on the matter is clear. Both support the necessity of negotiation and explain the benefits that will come with it. In order to further

The Korean peninsula has been a volatile area since the end of World War II. Today it is the last example of a single nation divided between two states, represents the longest division of ideologies, and is the archetype of enduring Cold War symptoms. Although small in size, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been the biggest obstacle to regional stability in Asia, its militant and hostile policies posing a threat not only to western aligned nations, but also to its former and present benefactors, Russia and China. This dangerous country represents a very important target for the United States’ Intelligence Community, an extremely difficult one to exploit, but one that cannot be ignored as North Korea’s ambitions

Professor Cha and Ambassador Gallucci combine their analysis and opinions in the opinion piece, “Stopping North Korea’s Nuclear Threat”, outlining misguided belief of North Korea that nuclear weapons are their only path to safety while listing the actions required by the U.S. and the United Nations to reduce the threat. The article addresses the perceived belief of North Korea, using history of Afghanistan and Libya, that only through the threat of nuclear weapons will North Korea be respected, feared, and the current regime allowed to continue. The reaction of the U.S. and other countries, per Cha and Gallucci, must be based on ‘asymmetric pressure points’ such as freezing of bank accounts, travel bans on officials, indictment of those working

North Korea’s nuclear aspirations and capabilities are a major concern for Americans as well as the rest of the World. A concern that is fully supported when looking at the relentless effort North Korea has put into fulfilling its “military first” strategy. Above all else North Korea has made it a point to improve its military at the expense of its economy and its citizens. With the idea of a “military first” system it is hard to imagine that North Korea ever truly wanted nuclear reactors for the sole purpose of energy. More important to understanding this policy, is the history of North Korea. Jonathan Pollack goes into detail about the history and the emergence of Kim Il-Sung following the Korean War, and why Kim felt that “military first” was the best policy for the country. The underlying factor in North Korean policy is that they are fearful; following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the World saw what a powerful weapon nuclear bombs are and likewise Kim Il-Sung also did.

With approximately six to eight nuclear weapons and the fact that it did not sign a Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, without a doubt, North Korea is a significant threat to both the United States and her interests (Chanlett-Avery, Rinehart, & Nikitin, 2016). The United States’ recent policy of “strategic patience” has been largely ineffective. Strategic

North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and

This article deals with the United States and its attempts to deal with the dangerous matters of North Korea. Some of the problems that were brought up in this article were North Korea’s plan to restart a plutonium based nuclear program at Yongbyon, North Korea’s plan to build a new highly enriched uranium (HEU) nuclear program, and the tension that emerged between the United States and South Korea. Even though many problems were occurring, there were some positive things that were happening at the time. The United States began negotiating with North Korea and South Korea about establishing railroad links, demining portions of the demilitarized zone, allowing athletes to compete in the Asian games, and allowing abductees to visit Japan.

For contextual purposes, this paper will be organized into five main sections. The first section will present relevant historical context for South Korea. The following section will cover the interest/threat pairs, with subsections for each pair. The third section will more closely examine national security as the interest of greatest importance and propose a solution to address the regional threat to South Korea 's stability. The fourth section will evaluate the effects of the proposed solution on the other interests to suggest protocol to prevent negative effects, followed by a section for final conclusions.
