Abstract

In September 2017, North Korea shocked the world by exploding the most powerful nuclear device tested anywhere in 25 years. Months earlier, it had conducted the first test flight of a missile capable of ranging much of the United States. By the end of that year, Kim Jong Un, the reclusive state's ruler, declared that his nuclear deterrent was complete. Today, North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile and ballistic missile arsenal continues to grow, presenting one of the most serious challenges to international security to date. Internal regime propaganda has called North Korea's nuclear forces the country's 'treasured sword,' underscoring the cherished place of these weapons in national strategy. Fiercely committed to self-reliance, Kim remains determined to avoid unilateral disarmament. This book tells the story of how North Korea, once derided in the 1970s as a 'fourth-rate pipsqueak' of a country by President Richard Nixon, came to credibly threaten the American homeland by November 2017. The author explores the contours of North Korea's nuclear capabilities, the developmental history of its weapons programs, and the prospects for disarming or constraining Kim's arsenal. With no signs that North Korea's total disarmament is imminent over the next years, or even decade, he explores the consequences of a nuclear-armed North Korea for the United States, South Korea, and the world.

Abstract

This book explores Korea's place in terms of multiple levels and domains of interaction pertaining to foreign-policy behaviors and relations with the four regional/global powers (China, Russia, Japan, and the United States). The synergy of global transformations has now brought to an end Korea's proverbial identity and role as the helpless shrimp among whales, and both North Korea and South Korea have taken on new roles in the process of redefining and projecting their national identities. Synthetic national identity theory offers a useful perspective on change and continuity in Korea's turbulent relationships with the great powers over the years. Following a review of Korean diplomatic history and competing theoretical approaches, along with a synthetic national-identity theory as an alternative approach, one chapter each is devoted to how Korea relates to the four powers in turn, and the book concludes with a consideration of inter-Korean relations and potential reunification.

Abstract

« L’objet que je me propose d’explorer, écrivait Patrick Maurus à la parution, voici cinq ans, de la première édition du présent ouvrage, se manifeste par une évidence – la Corée est divisée – immédiatement suivie par une sorte de programme politique qui s’impose à tous, héritier de cette évidence indiscutée : il faudra bien finir par trouver un moyen de la réunifier. » Or, voici que l’Histoire s’accélère, sur fond d’accroissement des tensions dans cette partie du globe, de profond remaniement géopolitique à l’échelle mondiale, de menaces nucléaires multipartites et de pluie de missiles nord-coréens tirés en direction du voisin japonais... Compléter et actualiser l’analyse des « Trois Corées » s’imposait. Voici donc un outil précis et vivant pour mieux comprendre une région du monde sous les feux de l’actualité, analysée par l’un de ses meilleurs connaisseurs, dans une perspective originale, dégagée de la traditionnelle et simplificatrice opposition Corée du Nord/Corée du Sud et élargie à l’histoire régionale et mondiale.
