Overview

Comprehensive examination of the goals, strategies, and motives of the six parties involved in North Korea denuclearization talks through the lens of negotiation theory. Was there ever a window of opportunity for successful negotiations over North Korea's nuclear weapons program? Negotiation Dynamics to Denuclearize North Korea brings together country experts with negotiation specialists to apply negotiation theory to the North Korea denuclearization process. Country expert chapters provide a detailed assessment of the goals, motives, and strategies of the six parties-North Korea, South Korea, the United States, China, Japan, and Russia-along with contextual variables of each player such as political, economic, and social conditions while the negotiation scholars collate and scrutinize the results of these key variables. Based on thorough descriptive contexts provided by the country experts, the negotiation scholars identify the lack of two factors, party cohesion and ripeness, as detriments to successful North Korea nuclear negotiations.

Reviews

"""Negotiation Dynamics to Denuclearize North Korea is an excellent addition to the fields of security studies, East Asian IR, Nuclear Non-Proliferation, and North Korean Politics and Foreign Policy. The volume offers a nice combination of theoretical framework and rich and multi-faceted empirical accounts of the international negotiations for denuclearization of North Korea. This is a rare scholarly work that carries out theory-guided analysis about North Korean foreign policy strategy in general and the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in particular. As such, the book is theoretically rigorous, empirically rich, and highly policy-relevant."" — Jongseok Woo, coauthor of Politics in North and South Korea: Political Development, Economy, and Foreign Relations"
