An Argument and Strategy for Bilateral Talks Between the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500521608)

This book analyzes the problem of a nuclear DPRK from a grand strategy level. The technical and scientific aspects of a nuclear settlement are avoided. Existing material on this issue is abundant and a concerted effort was made to study both Eastern and Western research sources. From this analysis flows certain conclusions about a diplomatic solution between the DPRK and the United States. The books conclusions and recommendations were intentionally crafted in broad terms. It will be for others to develop specific tactics under these broad themes. The analysis centers on the current multilateral effort, the Six Party Talks. The conclusion offered is that the Six Party Talks are inappropriate for achieving a negotiated solution to the DPRK nuclear issue and that a bilateral arrangement between the DPRK and the United States should be pursued. Furthermore, in approaching the bilateral talks, the United States must understand the implications this issue has for the DPRKs highest priority, namely the security of the state. Next, the importance and opportunities of a strengthened relationship between the United States and the Republic of Korea are highlighted.
