| description | North Korea’s unchecked missile and nuclear program is one of the most pressing
global security concerns. This article evaluates the multilateral engagement efforts
that have been pursued by regional stakeholders, specifically assessing the SixParty Talks vis-à-vis the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), and explaining why
these multilateral efforts have failed to resolve the nuclear crisis. Given the poor
performances of these two multilateral platforms, this article seeks to assess the
feasibility and policy implications of defusing the longstanding nuclear crisis through
multilateral engagement. Despite stalling and a myriad of obstacles, the Six-Party
Talks has a better chance than the ARF at curbing the nuclear crisis. At best, the ARF
can contribute by playing a complementary role by helping deescalate tensions or
cultivating better diplomatic ties. |
