North Korea and Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Lesson Learned and opportunities from North Korea Involvement in NAM
Abstract: Many experts still
believe that engagement would be the answer towards the recent situation in Korean
peninsula. Up to
now, few contacts
which have taken
place can hardly
be called as negotiations. Looking at the situation, a
new player could be added into the negotiation process to solve North Korea's
nuclear crisis. The new player should be free of interest, reliable, and has a
strong connection with North Korea. It is already over 40 years since North
Korea was accepted as full-fledged
member and North
Korea has gained
immeasurably by joining
Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Thus
NAM is probably one of the most promising exit strategies for North Korea
nuclear crisis, the engagement that could provide coalition for punishment
tomorrow. The movement could be an opportunity for North Korean nuclear
problem, since it has long history with North Korea, freer from superpower
interest, and provide a lot of benefits to North Korean regime.
