Clinton's "slow boat to Korea." (President Bill Clinton's policy on North Korea's nuclear program)
Article Abstract:
The Clinton administration's inability to formulate and enact a tough policy regarding North Korea's nuclear program may encourage North Korea to amass weapons of mass destruction which will have serious impact on the security of the US forces and its allies in the region. The administration's choice of diplomacy with out military power to solve the problem will not yield positive results. The US has to take steps such as strengthening US forces in South Korea and fixing a deadline for the elimination of North Korea's nuclear complexes to make North Korea comply with nonproliferation conditionalities.

The nuclear deal with North Korea: is the glass half empty or half full?
Article Abstract:
The Clinton administration's decision to use political and economic incentives to urge North Korea to end its nuclear weapons program was wrong. North Korea has continually shown its willingness not to honor its international commitments to accords such as the Non-Proliferation Treaty. In trying to coerce North Korea through incentives, the US government is in effect rewarding the country of its transgressions. A more sound approach would have been to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions against North Korea to force it to voluntarily terminate its nuclear program.

The Korean nuclear deal: how might it challenge the United States?
Article Abstract:
The provisions of the US-North Korean nuclear deal signed in Geneva in Oct 1994 has raised questions about the achievement of its objectives. The US aims to end the North Korean nuclear crisis by providing some economic incentives. The signed provides ineffective instruments for monitoring of Korean obligations to abide by the treaty. The deal is the source of constitutional controversy in the US on the question of Congressional approval.
