“…9 On the one hand, there are elites who argue that North Korea should be treated as a special country. Chinese participation in the Korean War of 1950-53, the longstanding bilateral security treaty dating back to 1961 and North Korea"s strategic location are 9 For two excellent analyses of this debate and the rationale behind it, see [27,29]. …”

China, as host of the six-party talks first convened in August 2003, has been one of the major players in dealing with the North Korean nuclear crisis that began in October 2002. China"s role in the talks has helped to start shaping a stable regional security architecture in Northeast Asia. Beijing"s leadership in building a new security regime in the region suggests a change on Chinese perspectives regarding its role within the broader East Asia"s regional security architecture. After years of passiveness with regards to involvement in security regime building in the region, China has evolved into an active leader seeking to shape a more institutionalized security. Despite the obstacles to building a functioning regime in Northeast Asia, China seems poised to continue working towards creation of a more stable and institutionalized security architecture.

“…11 Yet, the policy of engagement under the Kim and Roh administrations can be considered as only a "half success" given that the limited progress made in the area of economic cooperation has not significantly spilled over into other important areas related to the prospect of peace, including the North's complete and verifiable elimination of nuclear weapons. 12 For a report on China's displeasure caused by North Korea's nuclear testing, see Moore (2008). 13 Here, nationally specific subsidiary goals refer to each bargaining party's policy objectives that are not commonly shared with others (such as the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula through North Korea's abandoning of nuclear weapons) but still significant for the respective government's national interests.…”

In order to address the tensions that erupted out of North Korea's nuclear crisis, a multilateral framework, known as the Six‐Party Talks, was arranged between the United States and North Korea along with four other countries in Northeast Asia. On the surface, Washington seems to possess many of the requisite means to win other countries to its side, whereas Pyongyang is widely considered a pariah with little influence over the given issue. However, North Korea has posed strategic challenges to the major powers, including the United States, over the years by accumulating more nuclear materials and conducting nuclear tests in between subsequent negotiations. This study is designed to shed light on the security conundrum caused by North Korea's nuclear crisis. In particular, I seek to examine the differences and compatibilities of the six negotiating parties' major policy objectives and priorities, the effects of which can explain bargaining positions and subsequent negotiated outcomes (or lack thereof) in complex multilateral talks, dealing with North Korea's controversial nuclear program.

“…Rather than fight them the Japanese decided to learn from them so as to better them. 2 This led to great changes in Japan which culminated in the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a social revolution which brought Japan into the league of great power competition, republicanism and weaknesses in its banking system, huge gaps in living standards between rural and urban regions and coastal and hinterland regions, and because of yet unresolved political tensions, China seems poised to go nowhere but up. With this, of course, has been an increase in defense spending.…”

While Sino-Japanese relations are quite stable presently, it was as recent as 2004-2005 that the two nations slid into the worst bilateral quagmire in decades. When in 2007 Japan was China's third largest trading partner and China surpassed the US to become Japan's largest trading partner, what is eating these two otherwise very pragmatic traders? History, nationalism and face, enabled by recent changes in the strategic environment, are the factors that have been most salient in bringing about the plunge in Sino-Japanese relations in 2004-05 and though Sino-Japanese relations have been much better since, these factors hang like a storm front over Sino-Japanese relations today.
