North Korea features highly on the agenda of the main actors in
East Asia and around the globe, and many large foreign policy
initiatives have been undertaken since the structural constraints
of the Cold War started to loosen in the early 1990s. 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. This 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, North Korea Policy will appeal to both policy
makers and scholars of Asian foreign policy.
