In order to answer the question, we examine the five cases related to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile diplomacy with the U.S. from 1992 to 2002, employing prospect theory combined with human needs theory. Our findings include: (1) North Korea employs brinkmanship strategy when its security is threatened; (2) it takes a conflictual policy when its identity is threatened; and (3) Pyongyang becomes cooperative when it perceives its security to be improving. The findings of the book recommend policy makers who want to see Pyongyang cooperate with the world as follows: (1) to alleviate Pyongyang's security concern; (2) to provide them with humanitarian assistance to relieve their domestic insecurity; and (3) to consider how to satisfy their identity need when dealing with the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yong Seok Choy, Dongsoo Kim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639368355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639368352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Yong Seok Choy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598615867647,"sku":"9783639368352","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81111076-4e0c-422c-9e9f-f4a086f279d4.jpg?v=1702383496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/explaining-north-korean-brinkmanship-foreign-yong-seok-choy-9783639368352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
