Policy Forum 05-62A: Why the Six Party Talks Should Succeed
Peter Van Ness, visiting fellow at the Contemporary China Centre and lecturer on security in the Department of International Relations at Australian National University as well as author of Confronting the Bush Doctrine: Critical Views from the Asia-Pacific, wrote: “The outcome of the Six Party Talks is likely to transform the strategic relations of Northeast Asia and beyond. If they are successful and North Korea agrees to dismantle its nuclear weapons programs in a verifiable way in return for security and economic assistance, there would be an opportunity to begin to build new security institutions in one of the most volatile regions in the world, thereby providing both strategic stability and economic opportunities for all six participant countries to advance trade and investment projects that would benefit them all.”

Policy Forum 05-61A: A North Korean Visitor to the White House
Gavan McCormack, professor of social science at International Christian University, Tokyo and the author of Target North Korea: Pushing North Korea to the Brink, wrote: “What has maintained the dictatorship in the North for so long has been above all the uncompromising hostility of its enemies, allowing the regime to capitalize on national pride and determination to remain independent. Rather than more intervention to bring about ‘regime change’ what Korea needs is to be left alone to redress the long-continuing trauma caused by the massive interventions of the past.”

South Korea’s Power Play at the Six-Party Talks
The Nautilus Institute released this report analyzing the ROK offer of 2 Gigawatts of energy aid to the DPRK as part of the six party talks. The report suggests, “that the participants at the six-party talks should consider the full scope of activities needed to implement the South Korean scheme; that they should explore an alternative approach that would link the Russian and South Korean grids, thereby achieving the same outcome at lower cost and lesser political risk; and that the six parties should consider adopting a short-term, alternative package rather than resuming HFO deliveries to the DPRK because this approach would provide more energy services, faster, and at lower risk and cost to give immediate substance to statements of longer-term intention to supply assistance to the DPRK. We further suggest that these issues be explored with the North Koreans at the six-party talks at a subsequent technical working group before major commitments are made to proceeding with the South Korean proposal.”
