This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea is a country of paradoxes and contradictions. Although it remains an economic basket case that cannot feed and clothe its own people, it nevertheless possesses one of the world's largest armed forces. Whether measured in terms of the total number of personnel in uniform, numbers of special operations soldiers, the size of its submarine fleet, quantity of ballistic missiles in its arsenal, or its substantial weapons of mass destruction programs, Pyongyang is a major military power.

Download or read book North Korea's Weapons Programmes written by International Institute for Strategic Studies and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current crisis over North Korea's nuclear program poses the greatest immediate threat to East Asian security and one of the most serious long-term challenges to the viability of the international non-proliferation regime. A number of different policy options have been advanced to deal with this issue, including preemptive military attacks, diplomacy, containment, sanctions and regime change. North Korea's Weapons Programmes provides a balanced and objective assessment of North Korea's nuclear, biological, chemical and ballistic missile programs. The dossier provides an historical review of North Korean programs in each area, an assessment of current capabilities, and an evaluation of different scenarios for future developments, emphasizing the inherent uncertainties in trying to evaluate North Korea's capabilities. In addition to chapters on North Korea's nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and ballistic missile programs, the dossier includes chapters on the history of efforts to negotiate limits on North Korea's military capabilities and on the conventional military balance on the Korean peninsula. Importantly, the IISS does not advocate any particular policy option in dealing with North Korea. The objective is to assess, as accurately and dispassionately as possible, North Korea's current military capabilities in order to foster a well-informed public debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea has presented one of the most vexing and persistent problems in U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War period. The United States has never had formal diplomatic relations with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (the official name for North Korea), although contact at a lower level has ebbed and flowed over the years. Negotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons program have occupied the past three U.S. administrations, even as some analysts anticipated a collapse of the isolated authoritarian regime. North Korea has been the recipient of over $1 billion in U.S. aid (though none since 2009) and the target of dozens of U.S. sanctions.
Book Synopsis Nuclear North Korea by : Victor D. Cha
Download or read book Nuclear North Korea written by Victor D. Cha and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victor D. Cha and David C. Kang’s Nuclear North Korea was first published in 2003 amid the outbreak of a lasting crisis over the North Korean nuclear program. It promptly became a landmark of an ongoing debate in academic and policy circles about whether to engage or contain North Korea. Fifteen years later, as North Korea tests intercontinental ballistic missiles and the U.S. president angrily refers to Kim Jong-un as “Rocket Man,” Nuclear North Korea remains an essential guide to the difficult choices we face. Coming from different perspectives—Kang believes the threat posed by Pyongyang has been inflated and endorses a more open approach, while Cha is more skeptical and advocates harsher measures, though both believe that some form of engagement is necessary—the authors together present authoritative analysis of one of the world’s thorniest challenges. They refute a number of misconceptions and challenge the faulty thinking that surrounds the discussion of North Korea, particularly the idea that North Korea is an irrational actor. Cha and Kang look at the implications of a nuclear North Korea, assess recent and current approaches to sanctions and engagement, and provide a functional framework for constructive policy. With a new chapter on the way forward for the international community in light of continued nuclear tensions, this book is of lasting relevance to understanding the state of affairs on the Korean peninsula.
Book Synopsis An Assessment of North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Capabilities by : Ciara Brooke Sivels
Download or read book An Assessment of North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Capabilities written by Ciara Brooke Sivels and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February of 2013, North Korea conducted its third nuclear weapons test. Speculations are that this test was conducted to further develop a warhead small enough to fit on an intercontinental ballistic missile. This test further strained North Korea's relationship with the international community. North Korea has continued to make steps towards advancing its military capabilities using nuclear weapons, and has even threatened an attack on U.S. soil. The steps that North Korea are currently taking could have detrimental effects on the stability of the region. The role of enrichment technology in the production of nuclear weapons material and the history of North Korea's nuclear program is described. The effect of a nuclear weapons attack on the United States is presented and analyzed. The number of casualties could be or is estimated to be on the order of several thousand people, in addition to the destruction of infrastructure. Although a highly unlikely scenario, these calculations have implications for future policy decisions. This discussion shows the importance of verifying North Korea's nuclear program. Verification would facilitate a better relationship between North Korea and the international community. This could lead to economic support and security assurances for North Korea. Furthermore, it would help the United States avoid a potential attack.

Book Synopsis Nuclear Endgame by : Jacques L. Fuqua
Download or read book Nuclear Endgame written by Jacques L. Fuqua and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the volatility and unpredictability North Korea has come to symbolize in international diplomacy and security issues, it represents only half of the potential danger on the Korean peninsula. In a notable departure from its past role as guarantor of stability on the Korean peninsula, the United States has, under the stewardship of the Bush administration, come to be regarded as, at best, an obstacle to peace and security, and at worst a potential trigger for hostility. The most immediate result of this shift on the Korean peninsula has been the US failure to undertake an effective policy formulation process, which has manifested itself (on both sides of the 38th parallel) in more reactive and convulsive responses to challenges from the North Korean regime. Without such understanding there is little hope of advancing discussions or resolving North Korea's nuclear program. Fundamental to understanding North Korea's endgame is realizing that its nuclear weapons program, while menacing, is unlikely to be used offensively without major provocation; it functions as a tool of its diplomacy—missile diplomacy—to ensure survival of the regime. Working closely with South Korea, the United States must ensure that any potential resolution reached on North Korea's nuclear program does not undermine its longer-term objectives for securing broader peace and security on the Korean peninsula. Ideally, any resolution brokered over the North's nuclear weapons program will provide a synergistic effect in addressing the conventional war threat posed by North Korea on the Korean peninsula. In short, the United States must undertake constructive engagement. Steadfast unwillingness to engage with North Korea only provides more fodder for the regime to stall any action, and, as part of its endgame, makes U.S. behavior the issue. the issue, which is part of its endgame.
Book Synopsis North Korea's Nuclear and Missile Programs by : International Crisis Group
Download or read book North Korea's Nuclear and Missile Programs written by International Crisis Group and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This background report examines what is known about the North Korean nuclear and missile programs in mid-2009. While North Korean military doctrine still emphasises offensive tactics, the nuclear weapons are of little use except for deterrence, which is reflected in the posture of deployments and in the command and control structure. Nevertheless, misperception, miscalculation, escalation or a change in military strategy could conceivably lead to their deliberate, accidental or unauthorised use. The risk of an accidental nuclear explosion cannot be ignored, given uncertainty about the sophistication of the North's technology and its known generally poor safety standards. Moreover, Pyongyang has sold missiles, missile components and technology to several countries and has been cooperating with Iran to develop long-range missiles and space launch vehicles. Its missile program has been an important source of hard currency and a symbol of national power that the leadership exploits for internal political control. For all these reasons, the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula and the halting of the North's ballistic missile program remain crucial policy priorities for neighbours, as well as the wider international community that continues to be acutely concerned about the proliferation implications. Whatever the motives that have driven its development, the elimination of North Korea's nuclear and missile arsenal will require considerable planning and resources.
Book Synopsis Confronting Security Challenges on the Korean Peninsula by : Marine Corps Press
Download or read book Confronting Security Challenges on the Korean Peninsula written by Marine Corps Press and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean Peninsula was and is in a state of flux.More than 60 years after the war that left the country divided, the policies and unpredictability of the North Korean regime, in conjunction with the U.S. alliance with South Korea and the involvement of China in the area, leave the situation there one of the most capricious on the globe. Confronting Security Challenges on the Korean Peninsula presents the opinions from experts on the subject matter from the policy, military, and academic communities. Drawn from talks at a conference in September 2010 at Marine Corps University, the papers explore the enduring security challenges, the state of existing political and military relationships, the economic implications of unification, and the human rights concerns within North and South Korea. They also reiterate the importance for the broader East Asia region of peaceful resolution of the Korean issues.
Book Synopsis The North Korean Ballistic Missile Program by : Daniel Pinkston
Download or read book The North Korean Ballistic Missile Program written by Daniel Pinkston and published by . This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs have drawn international attention for years. In the early 1960s, Pyongyang began to pursue the capability to produce advanced weapons systems, including rockets and missiles. However, foreign assistance and technology, particularly from China and the Soviet Union, were instrumental in the acquisition of these capabilities. The ballistic missile inventory now totals about 800 road-mobile missiles, including about 200 Nodong missiles that could strike Japan. In April 2007, North Korea for the first time displayed two new missiles: a short-range tactical missile that poses a threat to Seoul and U.S. Forces in South Korea, and an intermediate-range missile that could potentially strike Guam. Although North Korea has not demonstrated the ability to produce a nuclear warhead package for its missiles, its missiles are believed to be capable of delivering chemical and possibly biological munitions. North Korean media and government officials claim the country needs a nuclear deterrent to cope with the "hostile policy of the United States," but Pyongyang has never officially abandoned its objective of "completing the revolution in the south." Little is known about North Korean military doctrine and the role of its ballistic missiles, but National Defense Commission Chairman Kim Ch?ng-il has ultimate authority over their disposition.

Book Synopsis US Strategy to Stem North Korea's Nuclear Program: Assessing the Clinton and Bush Legacies by : Janne E. Nolan (1951)
Download or read book US Strategy to Stem North Korea's Nuclear Program: Assessing the Clinton and Bush Legacies written by Janne E. Nolan (1951) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea's nuclear program was a microcosm of the kind of complex security challenges the United States would confront in the 21st century. This case study examines the role of the US intelligence and foreign policy communities to reduce the global and regional security threats posed by nuclear proliferation in North Korea, by looking at the very different approaches adopted by the Clinton and Bush administrations. This case study focuses on the North Korean nuclear threat as a way to examine the dynamics of intelligence and policy. As the United States and Asia continue to grapple with the threat of a nuclear-armed North Korea, what are the next steps for US diplomacy? What lessons from this case study can inform future US administrations and policymakers toward their policy and negotiations with North Korea-or other states that may be embarking on a nuclear weapons program?

Commission on the Korean Peninsula and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Korea policy is famously known as the "land of lousy options." Currently, North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs look unstoppable. Decades of failed denuclearization diplomacy, however, cannot deter the allies from seeking new avenues of engagement with the modest goal of slowing down the program's growth. Failing that objective, the United States must be cognizant that contingency planning, enhanced military readiness, and strengthened extended deterrence measures with South Korea and Japan serve to make U.S. alliances in Asia stronger, which in turn impose costs on North Korea for its proliferation behavior.
