Nuclear and Bargaining Power of North Korea

A country will have a strong bargaining position in the table of diplomacy if that country has a strong economic or military strong defense . Ideally do have them but most do not have one between them could become a bargaining tool in a country negotiating table. In this case, North Korea and in absolute terms tend to use its strong military defense of his that is in the form of the development of nuclear senjatra as a weapon in the bid process.
When North Korea successfully conducted a nuclear test on October 8, 2002, the world was surprised by the ability of the isolated country and could not even feed their own people this. Major North Korean nuclear program, has claimed all-out state finances emerged as a manifestation of two doctrines that guide the actions of military officers and determine the political posture of North Korea since the late 1990s. Two doctrines are:
1.Kangsong Taeguk, which means thinking about the importance of building strong and prosperous country, and
2.Congun Chongchi or military primacy.
Whatever losses to North Korea when it openly declared themselves as nuclear-armed country, there is a logical strategy behind the declaration of North Korea as a nuclear weapons power state. North Korea believes this action will provide a strategic advantage, symbolic, and the technology required in the long term to achieve North Korea's strong and prosperous. In accordance with the definition of nuclear strategy as the use of nuclear weapons to achieve the interests of international politics, nuclear North Korea could become an important tool in international negotiations.
The success of North Korea as a nuclear power amplifier bargaining power of the state looks at the events as follows:
1.Meeting in Beijing 27-29 August 2003 between China, Korea, Japan, South Korea (ROK), U.S., and Russia has succeeded in pressing Bush to give a written security guarantee in some form to the North, provided that North Korea's stance also flexible and be restraint.
2.In 2005, the North succeeded in pressing the IAEA to not freeze the accounts of 25 million U.S. dollars which had been frozen in Macau and in return North Korea would receive energy aid and diplomatic concessions. South Korea's own earlier pledged 50 thousand tons of fuel
The position is something that is clearly visible. North Korea's desire to seriously show ownership of nuclear weapons technology. But the interests behind it is to seek recognition and power through the threat in the negotiations. The aim is none other than North Korea to meet the needs for energy, financial, and economic incentives.
North Korea's nuclear development is intended to strengthen its bargaining position in international negotiations. Through the development of its nuclear program, North Korea seeks to create balance of forces with the Americans, and with it, the country could force Americans to sit at the negotiating table. North Korea uses its nuclear card as the U.S. in diplomacy. North Korea knows very well how to use its nuclear capabilities for diplomacy. With a nuclear North Korea could easily attract aid, start the rice until the fuel. Thus, the various sanctions and UN resolutions were not really affect them. With nuclear Similarly, a country technically still in state of war with South Korea was able to hoist bargaining power when negotiating with its enemies.
Over the last three years, the North recorded twice tested nuclear bombs and missile tests. North Korea will continue to test nuclear weapons to master the technology to put warheads on missiles. The technology will strengthen the power of Kim Jong-un, the prospective successor to Kim Jong-il, while ruling later. Obama has ever berwacana that will give more attention to Japanese intelligence information which states the possibility of long-distance missiles North Korea launched a Taepodong-2 right on U.S. Independence Day celebration. This shows that the North's bargaining position can not be considered trivial in the U.S. Matas. Since North Korea had indeed wanted to negotiate directly with Uncle Sam's country, without going through the intermediary of the state or any agency. They learn from Chinese experience using nuclear threats to U.S. forces in the era of President Richard Nixon to review bilateral relations
In this case shows that a country that only poor countries and have no influence in a region and in international politics can have a fairly strong bargaining power when the country has a deterens, which in this case is the nuclear weapon. The development of nuclear weapons by a country indeed is the right of the country, but when it collided with the international norms it is a choice whether to continue with all the consequences that will be received as experienced by Iran and North Korea in the form of economic embargo and political ostracism. But Iran and North Korea realize that they will have a fairly strong bargaining power when it successfully developed nuclear weapons despite the expense of the welfare of its citizens like that of North Korea.
