Kim Jong II's military strategy for reunification

Article Abstract:

This article provides a detailed and lengthy analysis of North Korean leader Kim Jong II's military policy and strategies towards reunification with South Korea. The author asserts that despite North Korea's small economic capacity, population and size, it is a formidable international player due to the size of its military, which is the fourth largest in the world, after the US, Russia and China, and maintains an operational fleet of intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at the US, which may or may not contain nuclear tips; the presence of the military has protected Korea from foreign threats of violence.

The changing demographics of the US southern security perimeter: A first look at the numbers

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to use demographic data to explain trends indicative of, or potentially supportive of, an accretion of security threats from what is termed the 'the US southern security perimeter', that is, the US' interface with Latin America and the Caribbean. Results suggest that many local demographic trends defy prevailing North American stereotypes for the region, and that the significance of these emerging trends thus remains imperfectly recognized and poorly appreciated in Washington.

North Korea and the U.S. grand security strategy

Article Abstract:

This article asserts that despite North Korea's nuclear proliferation and human rights abuses, the U.S. does not impose economic sanctions or respond militarily to provocations, but rather chooses economic and diplomatic relations. The author analyzes these foreign policy decisions in the post-Cold War environment and discusses the constraints on Washington, despite its international power.
