Abstract

In early 2017 the United States should have taken up the Chinese and Russian-backed proposal to suspend United States – South Korean joint military exercises in exchange for suspension of North Korean nuclear and missile tests. South Korea was signaling that it would support this proposal. That was before North Korea tested inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), capable of reaching anywhere in the U.S., and an advanced nuclear explosive, some ten times more powerful than those the U.S. used against Japan in WWII. The Trump administration brushed aside that original international proposal. The Singapore Summit, however, has put just such a suspension-for-suspension agreement in place. A little late, but much better than never.

Defending the Homeland: Growing Foreign Challenges to the U.S. Missile Defense Posture

Technical Report

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for Policy requested that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory conduct a Congressionally directed study on homeland missile defense, pursuant to Section 1692 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. In accordance with the statutory language, this study considers whether the security benefits obtained by deployment of homeland missile defenses of the United States are undermined or counterbalanced by adverse reactions of potential adversaries, and considers the effectiveness of homeland missile defense efforts of the United States to deter the development of ballistic missiles. Almost a half-century has elapsed since the Unitedmore »« less

Denuclearizing North Korea: A verified, phased approach

Journal Article Glaser, Alexander ; Mian, Zia - Science

At the Singapore Summit of 12 June 2018, for the third time, the leaders of the United States and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) agreed to seek a diplomatic resolution to the decades of conflict between their two nations. At the Summit, “President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”1 Achieving the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula will involve solving difficult and entangled technical and policy questions of how to verify nuclear disarmament. The outcome will shape howmore »« less

Missile defense and strategic stability: Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea

Journal Article Sankaran, Jaganath ; Fearey, Bryan L. - Contemporary Security Policy

South Korea is threatened by its troubled relationship with North Korea. North Korea possesses a large cache of missiles as well as chemical and biological weapons, and the future potential to mount nuclear weapons on its missiles. The United States is also challenged because of its defense commitments to Seoul. As a countermeasure, the United States and South Korea decided to deploy Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defenses in South Korea. However, China has objected. Chinese scholars believe the THAAD radar would be able to track Chinese inter-continental ballistic missiles, thereby weakening their deterrent. A technical analysis doesmore »« less

Korean arms control: Arms control policies of the two Koreas

Miscellaneous Park, T H

This study examines the arms control proposals suggested by South and North Korea since the end of the Korean War and suggests some arms control measures that would be applied to the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang has persistently proposed arms reduction measures since 1953, but Seoul has refused to discuss the issue because it suspected the North's true motive. The study points out that the objective reality of the two Koreas does not show any strong possibility of a war on the Peninsula. The most destabilizing factor in the South-North military relations is the possibility of misperception and miscalculation about themore »« less
Mitigating the Threat of Nuclear-Weapon Proliferation via Nuclear-Submarine Programs

Journal Article von Hippel, Frank - Journal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament

Brazil is building a nuclear-powered attack submarine, South Korea has in the past asserted its need for nuclear-powered attack submarines to deal with the threat of North Korean nuclear-armed submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and Iran has asserted more vaguely its need for naval nuclear propulsion. All three countries are non-weapon-state parties to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Their interest in naval reactors brings with it two challenges to the NPT: 1) The safeguards “loophole” under which a country can withdraw nuclear materials from IAEA safeguards indefinitely for allowed “non-peaceful activities;” and 2) A justification for the acquisition of national uranium-enrichment facilitiesmore »« less
