Running Head: INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS International Political Systems American Military University January 14, 2018 1 INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS 2 The United States and North Korea North Korea has served as the perfect example for rebellious states for more than five decades. It has sought after a nuclear weapons program, exported and constructed ballistic rockets, supported acts of terror, allegedly took an interest in counterfeiting and the drug trade, and represented a constant risk to U.S. interests and allies, bringing about the stationing of U.S. forces in Japan and South Korea (Clinton, 2011). Be that as it may, it has likewise been the subject of a policy experiment. Both Democratic and Republican administrations have attempted to engage Pyongyang in improving relations and ending its offensive conduct. That strategy, though politically controversial, especially amid the Clinton administration, is most likely here to stay. Perhaps the critical question that this paper tries to answer is whether the latest moves by the North to better relations with Washington and Seoul matter (Cumings, 2011). This paper will divulge that, regardless of its small populace, seemingly meaningless economy, and easily misplaced size, North Korea is worth real attention and scrutiny. Good North Korea sits in a district of strategic interest and significant influence. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea shares its peninsula with the American-backed Republic of Korea, a northern bit with the Russian Federation, and shares almost 900 miles with the People's Republic of China. Recalling that Tokyo is less than 700 miles east over the Sea of Japan from North Korea, a nation which is almost as big as the American state of Mississippi, the country remains mostly encompassed by half of the militarily superior and financially commanding Group of 8 countries (Cumings, 2011). Without a doubt, it is difficult to envision that any nation would think a neighbor did not matter, and, as North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un has such a large number of the world's INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS 3 most powerful leaders as neighbors, it appears to be sensible to think, thus, that North Korea matters. The most unmistakable face of North Korea, its leader Kim Jong-Un, is likewise another one of the main reasons why the country demands attention. While a few powers in the district appear to find nuclear expansion distasteful only, the American government has a history which shows that its administration has a genuine hatred for Kim Jong-Un, the man. It may be stated that the present legislation in the U.S. has been off-base many times and that its ideological interests have veered from the stable sober-mindedness of preceding administrations (Cumings, 2011). However, regardless of whether Kim Jong-Un is a reasonable leader or not, there is mounting proof that America's criticism of North Korea's 'Beloved Leader' is well-founded. Good Contempt for Kim may in like manner exist inside his state. Numerous displaced people that got away from North Korea have suggested that Kim has survived various attempts on his life designed by groups of people inside his administration (Cumings, 2011). The man has been, and still is, integral to North Korea's identity towards a significant part of the world, and is a big reason why North Korea gets global attention and deserves it all, if only on dishonorable grounds. All that attention, primarily that which is directed towards the nation's leader, has likely helped in giving rise to the North Korean military, which, regardless of the nation's small size, is maybe the most cited reason behind the DPRK meriting the scrutiny it gets (Clinton, 2011). Today, the North Korean military is not something that other states trifle with, rather, it is seen by some as an undeniable danger to the entire peninsula. The military is budgeted between thirty and fifty percent of the nation's GDP, effectively the most significant percentage of any country on the planet, as per CIA insights. The Korean People's armed force brags an estimated 1.2 million active- INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS 4 duty servicemen, with no less than 5 million more in reserve (Cumings, 2011). While there is some uncertainty about the North's capacity to launch a conventional invasion, the danger it poses is genuine. Maybe even more alarming is the revelation that North Korea has been accused of creating biological and chemical weapons programs all through the 21st Century. Even still, there is no agreement over how threatening the conventional military strength of DPRK ought to be, yet the rational discussion in itself offers credence to the need of a North Korean-focus within the global community (Clinton, 2011). On account of North Korea, the need for attention is significantly higher, as the nation's leader has indicated at his enthusiasm for utilizing his nuclear program to expand his ability to negotiate with America and other powerful countries. The possibility that, past further proliferation or misuse, Pyongyang would employ its recently gained deterrent to force the United States or various powers to act differently in contrast to the way that they might have may when dealing with a nation of North Korea's influence and size unaltered conditions, is impressively alarming (Cumings, 2011). In that manner, its nuclear program, regardless of being, or maybe because it is, mostly unknown is likely the most significant reason for and defense of the attention that the DPRK gets. Literature Review A few scholars have expressed that the threat the DPRK poses is exaggerated. As indicated by them, North Korea harbors no extreme or aggressive danger to the peninsula or the world and the nation's resistance veils an appeal to standardize relations (McCormack, 2004). Some declare INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS 5 that the Kim administration has acted reasonably, facing mounting global pressures. Regardless of whether North Korea is a state to be pitied or dreaded is a debate worth having; this may clarify why it is such a well-known one among world leaders and scholars alike (McCormack, 2004). As per an article by Robert Carlin and Robert Jervis, North Korea's nuclear arsenal will probably grow over the following five years, and capabilities in delivering them are probably going to improve (Carlin & Jervis, 2015). Most observers are concerned with the likelihood of a progressively reckless North Korean conduct—that is, hazardous activities rather than heightened rhetoric. The implicit assumption driving this worry seems to be that the North has been a stealthy snake sitting tight for its chance to strike. There are reasonable assessments that by the year 2020 the nation could be in possession of somewhere between 20 to 100 atomic weapons, more likely with short-range delivery capabilities, perhaps with medium range capability, and, in the worstcase scenario, with intercontinental ability (Carlin & Jervis, 2015). Good The North Korean administration has additionally been found blameworthy of overseeing one of the worst human rights' records on the planet. It has time and again been condemned by governments around the world including the Human Rights Watch, the United Nations, Amnesty International, and the European Union (Donnelly & Whelan, 2017). Global human rights representatives are for the most part united in the view that there are scarcely any modern parallels to the infringement of human rights under the North Korean administration. Natives of this East Asian nation persevere through a full range of human rights violations. They lack the right to speak freely, and the dissidents are subjected to slave labor and detained (Margesson, Chanlett-Avery & Bruno, 2007). Good INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS 6 The People's Republic of China (PRC) assumes a vital part of U.S. policies toward the DPRK. The People's Republic of China is North Korea's closest partner, the largest food supplier most prominent supplier of food, fuel, and mechanical apparatus, and ostensibly the nation's most able to have an impact on Pyongyang. This close bilateral relationship is essential to U.S. policymakers. This is because China assumes a vital part in the accomplishment of U.S. endeavors to stop North Korea's atomic weapons and ballistic rocket programs. It also plays a role in preventing nuclear expansion, implementing monetary sanctions, keeping the tranquility on the Korean Peninsula, and guaranteeing that North Korean refugees that move to China get humane treatment. (Xu & Bajoria, 2014). As North Korea's primary benefactor and trading partner, China can assume the part of an intermediary or may even exercise leverage with North Korea's capital during a crisis, especially following a military incitement by North Korea when South Korea or the United States has little direct correspondence with the country's leaders (Chanlett-Avery & Rinehart, 2014). China's actions are additionally a key to transforming the DPRK's broken economy and meeting the fundamental human needs of the North Korean citizens. Conclusion The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate how North Korea merits the attention it gets. Undoubtedly, its position in the middle of four incredibly influential and powerful states and as a part of a remote kingdom commands and creates attention. Moreover, with a disproportionately substantial armed force, in relation to its size, populace and financial standing, and an apparent atomic weapons program, North Korea, undoubtedly, needs to remain the focus of foreign forces.

International relations: The United States and North Korea
The global community is founded international relations and peaceful coexistence
between nations. While the relationship between two nations may potentially affect their
internal and external forces such as economy and development, it could also affect other
nations in the region as well as in distant areas. The US-North Korea pair has for the recent
past been one of the most discussed relations globally. While the North Korean state has made
clear its threats to the US in a move to gain leverage in the bargain between the two nations,
the US has been using various tactics to protect the imminent threat as well as exercise the
supremacy that it has commanded globally throughout history (Nuruzzaman, 2016). Some of
these tactics include increased joint operations and collaboration between the US and the
countries neighboring North Korea such as the Southern counterpart and Japan. In fact, there
have also been numerous efforts to bring the two states at the table so as to boost their
relations as it could have farfetched ramifications, not just for the two states, but for the whole
world as well in the event that the relations deteriorated. Due to the significance and the
attention that the relations between the pair have attracted, this paper will explore the relations
in detail as well as various issues surrounding the same.

Relevance of North Korea-US relations
The relations between the US and North Korea is highly relevant in modern times.
Notably, North Korea has served as the perfect example for rebellious states for more than
five decades. It has sought after a nuclear weapons program, exported and constructed
ballistic rockets, supported acts of terror, allegedly took an interest in counterfeiting and the
drug trade, and represented a constant risk to U.S. interests and allies, bringing about the
stationing of U.S. forces in Japan and South Korea (Clinton, 2011). Be that as it may, it has
likewise been the subject of a policy experiment. Both Democratic and Republican
administrations have attempted to engage Pyongyang in improving relations and ending its

offensive conduct. That strategy, though politically controversial, especially amid the Clinton
administration, is most likely here to stay. Perhaps the critical question surrounding the two
nations is whether the latest moves by the North to better relations with Washington and
Seoul matter (Cumings, 2011). While the nation has been considered a threat to the welfare
and security of the US, efforts to improve the relations between the two nations have
increased in the recent past while at the same time attracting the international community
(Clemens, 2016). As a result, North Korea has continued to attract much significance globally
that way outmatches its size and economic muscle.

Influence of neighboring states on the US-North Korea relations
A different factor that has raised the significance of North Korea is its location. In this
case, North Korea sits in a district of strategic interest and significant influence. The
Democratic People's Republic of Korea shares its peninsula with the American-backed
Republic of Korea, a northern bit with the Russian Federation, and shares almost 900 miles
with the People's Republic of China. While China and the US have for a while commanded
the global economy, the relations between the two nations have been changing in nature from
time to time. In fact, Denoon (2017) report that relations between the US and China have
changed over the recent past as each nation strives to gain more control and influence over
other nations as a result of their overall global significance. This said, it then follows that the
ties between North Korea and any of these nations should be a major area of importance as
each of them seeks to position itself strategically. In fact, while the relations between North
Korea and China has remained controversial over the recent past, the relations between the
US and North Korea has over time tilted towards the extreme negative (Scobell, 2004;
Triplett, 2004). Any nation that would succeed in harnessing North Korea will thus have
succeeded in relation to its global influence and significance.

North Korea is situated in a region largely dominated by US allies. Recalling that
Tokyo is less than 700 miles east over the Sea of Japan from North Korea, a nation which is
almost as big as the American state of Mississippi, the country remains mostly encompassed
by half of the militarily superior and financially commanding group of 8 countries (Cumings,
2011). Without a doubt, it is difficult to envision that any nation would think a neighbor did
not matter, and, as North Korea's leade...
