Disarming North Korea
 |
Only time will tell whether last week's nuclear deal with North Korea represents an ephemeral diplomatic victory or a real breakthrough on the Cold War's last frontier. Some critics of the agreement have assailed the Bush administration for giving Pyongyang too little, too late, and at too great a cost; others have accused it of rewarding the Kim Jong Il regime's misdeeds with an accord full of loopholes. But over three years ago, James Laney and Jason Shaplen argued in Foreign Affairs that breaking the deadlock on the North Korean nuclear issue was possible within a six-party framework similar to the one that led to the recent agreement. In a Web-exclusive postscript, they argue that the deal could not only resolve the nuclear conundrum but also catalyze a broader renaissance in Northeast Asian security.
