Entered on 07/APR/2003
This article examines the Korean Peninsula from global, regional and local perspectives, ascertaining security dynamics and trends. Its contrast recent efforts to restore the northern continental triagle (North Korea, China and Russia) with the continued stability of the southern maritime triagle (South Kora, Japan and the United States). The impact of the stalemated inter-Korean dialogues upon the security of the Korean Peninsula and each of the major powers is also considered. The possible resumption and agenda of the dialogue between the United States and North Korea are under dispute. North Korea acted to let the Clinton administration know that it was willing to trade its nuclear and ballistic missiles capabilities fro economic resources, if the price is right. Whether North Korea will indeed bargain away its military trump cards for economic payoff remains to be seen.
