The centrality of North Korea has been particularly emphasized by the country's suspected development of nuclear weapons which is regarded as one of the largest de-stabilising factors in the Asia-Pacific region. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive book analyzes the formation of the North Korea policy in the context of great power relations in East Asia, specifically focusing on Japan's policy formation and 'the Japan factor' in the North Korea policies of other concerned great powers, namely the US, China, Russia, South Korea and the EU. By adopting an empirical focus on the international interaction over North Korea, this book brings together issues that are highly relevant to contemporary Japanese foreign policy; clarifies what is happening in the region right now and plots what policy options are available for the future. Policy-oriented and based on careful empirical analysis, \u003cem\u003eNorth Korea Policy\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to both policy makers and scholars of Asian foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linus Hagström\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415546907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415546904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Linus Hagström","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443465269503,"sku":"9780415546904","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_518b4159-b856-4142-8002-1a18ed90477d.jpg?v=1777205710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-korea-policy-linus-hagstrzim-9780415546904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
