Countering the Risks of North Korean Nuclear Weapons
North Korea has been building up its nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programs in an effort to dominate the Korean Peninsula and become a regional great power. Its weapons pose an existential threat to the Republic of Korea (ROK), and they might soon pose a serious threat to the United States. In this Perspective, the authors argue that the ROK and the United States must establish a firm deterrent against North Korean nuclear weapon use.

North Korea and Regional Security in the Kim Jong-un Era

The DPRK's (Democratic People's Republic of Korea or North Korea) support for terrorism began as an ideologically-based policy financed by the Soviet Union that eventually led to a policy designed to put money into the coffers of the elite in Pyongyang—in short, a "proliferation for hire" policy.

ROK‐U.S. Military Cooperation in the Post‐9/11 Era
Since the beginning of the Global War on Terror, and largely because of it, Washington and Seoul have viewed their most important security challenges in the region through different prisms. While the leaders in South Korea have sometimes made an effort to help these interests converge (and sometimes not), this has had repercussions as their military forces continue to make an effort to work together in an alliance where the infrastructure and int…
The Northern Limit Line Incident of 2002
The Northern Limit Line(NLL) incident of 2002 helped contribute to an environment of tension on the Korean Peninsula, and created political problems for President Kim Dae‐jung's Sunshine Policy. The attack now appears to have been carefully planned and carried out by the North Koreans. Based on the nature of the North Korean regime, and past precedent based on other recent provocations, it is likely that the attack on the ROK Navy on June 2 of 20…
