Author Description
The North Korean nuclear threat has created an enormous amount of apprehension in the international community in recent years. In 2003, the Six Party Talks brought together the US, China, Russia, Japan as well as South and North Korea to negotiate a multilateral resolution of this nuclear issue. This book examines this multilateral attempt, and will look at the Six Party Talks as a study of multilateralism, differentiating it from empirical studies on the Korean Peninsula. The author discusses the positions of the major players in regard to the Korean Peninsula in terms of their views of multilateralism and their willingness to commit themselves to it. The book goes to question why multilateralism failed to achieve its stated purpose in this instance, and examines how this failure can be resolved in the future.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the failure of the Six Party Talks to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis and questions the efficacy of multilateralism in managing regional security threats. Leszek Buszynski, an expert in international relations, utilizes a comparative framework to analyze the strategic motivations and diplomatic constraints of the six participating nations. By contrasting the theoretical expectations of multilateral cooperation with the empirical outcomes of the negotiations, the author identifies the specific geopolitical barriers that prevented a successful resolution of the nuclear issue.
