With its unstable and intermittent nuclear weapon project, and the
recent leadership succession issue, Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK) has been a source of insecurity for the past decade in
this region, in addition to the delicate international relations
among the powerful China, United States, Japan, and Russia. The
essence of DPRK issue lies in the instability and uncertainty of
nuclear development that even the slightest miscalculation by any
one power could disturb the sensitive balance of relationships,
creating a butterfly effect with a catastrophic result. Drawing on
various perspectives on the interaction over DPRK and other
regional powers, this volume seeks to explore the role of DPRK in
Northeast Asia, and its implication to regional security as a
whole. The volume does not confirm a particular position over
DPRK's nuclear showdown; rather it invites scholars to provide
assessments from the viewpoints of neighbouring powers in order to
present a more complete understanding of the leading issue in
Northeast Asia. The volume will serve as an invaluable resource for
policymakers, students and scholars of North Korean politics and
international relations. This book was published as a special issue
of the Journal of Comparative Asian Development.
