“…There is wide agreement among scholars about the DPRK's fragility and risks to the region, particularly among non‐Realists. The DPRK crisis ranges from human rights violations (Williams, ), to the export of nuclear weapons components (Weissmann & Hagström, ), to the conduct of missile and nuclear tests (Nakato, ). The future of North Korea is relevant in hard‐power terms such as Seoul's geographical proximity to the North's artillery (Williams, ) or the justifiability of the United States (US) military bases in South Korea and Japan (Roy in Vyas, Chen, & Roy, ).…”

Despite strong consensus regarding the rationale behind North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, namely to guarantee the regime’s survival, this paper investigates (1) why North Korea continuously engaged in provocations such as testing its nuclear and missile technologies despite its increasingly mature nuclear arsenal and thus its relatively high resilience vis‐à‐vis external interventions; and (2) why the USA was so successful at (temporarily) making North Korea cease such undertakings. Status Theory, a novel theory developed herein, is applied to provide an explanation for this phenomenon. Status Theory aims at shedding light on this crisis through its distinction between prestige and respect. It is hypothesized that Pyongyang places great importance on enforcing respect from Washington, while increasing its prestige domestically through frequent tests of its military capabilities. The post‐June 12th détente, albeit presumably temporary, is considered conducive to Kim’s status and is thus instrumental for the regime’s ontological security, but it is not conducive to denuclearization.

“…First, some specific contents of sanctions need to be strengthened in order to threaten the survival of the DPRK. To be specific, it is necessary to monitor the arms trade and restrict the court economy, because the two kinds of income only aim at supporting the survival of the regimes rather than supporting the lives of ordinary North Koreans [15] . Second, it is also significant for the American banks to monitor the offshore assets of Pyongyang and target the shadow economy [16] .…”

Abstract-The North Korean nuclear program has long been the focus of the international society and all the parties concerned have been trying every possible means to stop it but in vain. To help people have a clear picture of the North Korean nuclear program and effectively reduce its potential threat, the author first explains reasons for North Korean pursuit for nuclear program and then evaluates the possible effects-direct threat to regional security, indirect support to other nuclear aspirants and open defiance to NPT. Finally, she puts that pure economic sanctions or political disintegration can never work, and that truly felt responsibility from the U.S-led alliance for the security of China and ordinary citizens of North Korea as well as China's active involvement in the sanctions can really count.
