Multiplayer confrontation in East Asia: North Korea-Japan

Article Abstract:

The Pyongyang Declaration of 18 September 2002 following the meeting between Kim Jong II, Chairman of the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and the Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro seemed to solve the abductions issue and set the two countries on the road to normalization of relations. It is summarized that by yielding to American and domestic pressure to walk away from the Pyongyang Declaration, Koizumi is leading Japan not merely into confrontation with North Korea but also with China and South Korea.
