Daily Report Archives
Established in December 1993, the Nautilus Institute’s *N*ortheast *A*sia *P*eace and *S*ecurity *N*etwork (NAPSNet) Daily Report served thousands of readers in more than forty countries, including policy makers, diplomats, aid organizations, scholars, donors, activists, students, and journalists.
The NAPSNet Daily Report aimed to serve a community of practitioners engaged in solving the complex security and sustainability issues in the region, especially those posed by the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program and the threat of nuclear war in the region. It was distributed by email rom 1993-1997, and went on-line in December 1997, which is when the archive on this site begins. The format at that time can be seen here.
However, for multiple reasons—the rise of instantaneous news services, the evolution of the North Korea and nuclear issues, the increasing demand for specialized and synthetic analysis of these and related issues, and the decline in donor support for NAPSNet—the Institute stopped producing the Daily Report news summary service as of December 17, 2010.

Sheena E. Chestnut, MPhil student in International Relations at Oxford University and graduate of Stanford University’s International Security Studies honors program, writes “Although interdiction remains a useful counter-proliferation tool, the potentially multi-use nature of criminal networks suggests that interdiction is insufficient in addressing the risks of nuclear smuggling from North Korea. the effectiveness of this kind of deterrence may rest as much on a sophisticated understanding of North Korean participation in illicit networks as on the notorious difficulties of interdiction. For these reasons, identifying and limiting North Korean involvement in illicit activity must remain a key component of U.S. policy toward the D.P.R.K.”

Ruediger Frank, Professor of East Asian Political Economy at the University of Vienna, writes “there is both a high risk of conflict as well as a good chance for progress on the Korean Peninsula.The Korean government therefore has a chance to actively shape the Northeast Asian future by its efforts toward North Korea, and it can utilize regional dynamics to support its policy toward the DPRK. Maintaining a proper relationship with the United States appears to be of key importance for either task.”
