Examines how and why nations have persuaded North Korea to cooperate on topics such as nuclear policy.
How the world deals with North Korea and its nuclear capability will have ramifications for both regional and global stability. Engagement with North Korea examines the still controversial policy strategy known as engagement, which aims to persuade rather than force North Korea to be cooperative. While examining the converging and diverging policies of engagement practiced by the United States, China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea, the contributors to this volume uncover how and to what extent engagement has made some form of progress, and under what conditions it is likely to achieve complete success. In addition to the critical topic of denuclearization, the volume also demonstrates that engagement involves the use of negotiations and incentives in both the economic and the security realms. This volume is essential reading for both students and policy makers concerned about denuclearization in the multilateral context.

"Engagement with North Korea reminds us why diplomacy is the preferred strategy in dealing with Pyongyang." — Washington Times
