Impasse in Korea: a conventional arms-accord solution?

Article Abstract:

The 1994 Agreed Framework is in danger as a result of missile tests carried out by North Korea. North Korea is seeking to use anxiety about its missile program as a way of obtaining funds from western countries. The US, Japan and South Korea ought not to surrender to blackmail by North Korea, but there is a case for an offer of aid conditional on North Korea seeking to deal with the nuclear and missile crises. An arms control agreement would also be useful as a stabilizing measure. A broader approach by the US to this problem would be more fruitful than the impasse which has developed.
