The North Korean nuclear weapons conflict has been a security problem in international politics for a long time. Over and over again we hear about new talks with the North East Asian country and new promises to stop its nuclear program. But the situation has not changed yet. Why have the policies which have been applied towards North Korea not been successful so far? And how can this conflict be solved for good? In an attempt to answer this question the book focuses on the strategies of the United States towards North Korea. The author analyzes the two major crisis between the two countries which occurred during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. With the help of compliance theory the different instruments used by the administrations are categorized either as enforcement or management tools. Which tools were more effective? And can the author's hypothesis be proven that the more the US uses management strategies, the more successful they will be in getting North Korea to comply with the Non-Proliferation Treaty? The book addresses academics as well as people who are interested in learning more about one of the most dangerous problems of our times.
