North Korea has been described as the most secretive country on
earth. Dealing with such a closed society_one that is
simultaneously seeking acceptance through nuclear relations while
defying the plea to cease development of nuclear weapons_is
difficult for governments and policy makers, but Perspectives on
Policy Toward North Korea opens discussion on the various
approaches the United States has adopted and is considering.
Providing expert views on the impasse between the U.S. and North
Korea, the volume addresses topics that include the negotiating
strategies of the Clinton and Bush administrations, the concept of
building bilateral relationships through contact of U.S. and South
Korean military officers, and the benefits of allowing China to
take the lead in conflict resolution. Employing both traditional
and unusual methods, including diplomatic, academic, and military
viewpoints, Perspectives on Policy Toward North Korea is an
essential guide to a better understanding of this complicated
dynamic and an important work for policy makers, analysts, and
anyone interested in conflict resolution and security studies.

Violent non-state actors (VNSA) often serve a destabilizing role in
nearly every humanitarian and political crisis faced by the
international community. As non-state armed groups gain greater
access to resources and networks through global interconnectivity,
they have come to dominate the terrain of illegal trade in drugs,
guns, and humans. Warlords Rising arms those confronting the
mounting challenge by delivering an innovative, interdisciplinary
framework of analysis designed to improve understanding of
non-state adversaries in order to affect their development and
performance. Examining the utility of traditional theories of
deterrence and warfighting in light of the insight gained through
this interdisciplinary approach, the authors elevate the powerful
role of environmental shaping in group development, recast
deterrence in ecological terms, and lay out a strategy to defeat
non-state adversaries if necessary. Whether the goal is preventing,
coercing, or conquering, the framework of analysis presented here
is designed to be universal, allowing for structured analysis
across regions, types, and functions of non-state actors and
providing the decision maker and policy maker witha variety of
modes and methods of intervention.
