Rhoda Margesson, Specialist in International Humanitarian Assistance in the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division of the Congressional Research Service, Emma Chanlett-Avery, Analyst in Asian Affairs in the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division of the Congressional Research Service, and Andorra Bruno, Specialist in Immigration Policy in the Domestic Social Policy Division of the Congressional Research Service, write, “Formulating policy toward North Korea has been characterized as deciding among a range of bad options. The following outlines some basic approaches to dealing with North Korea’s human rights and refugee issues advocated by various constituencies, with an analysis of some of the possible diplomatic and security related ramifications.

Policy Forum 07-071: Summit Spirit on the Korean Peninsula
Eric J. Ballbach, research associate of the Korea Communication and Research Center in Berlin, writes, “If we now compare the circumstances and political conditions of the first and the second summit, there appears to be a major similarity, namely the basic fact that both summits occur in a time when North Korea began to emerge from a phase of diplomatic isolation. Differently put: North Korea’s ‘Yes’ to the summit is inseparable connected with external developments in the Northeast Asian region – despite the internal dynamic of inter-Korean relations.”
