| dc.description.abstract | A series of military tension growing in Korean
Peninsula between the Republic of Korea, State of Japan, and
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has attracted several
major powers to get involved, and one of them being the
United States of America. However, DPRK or North Korea,
had developed nuclear and missile technology, causing
massive fear towards states nearby. Attempts to disarm the
North had been conducted several times, such as Korean
Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO) and
Six-Party Talks, but all of them seems to fail to fulfill their
supposed goal. With the change of regime in the US post –
Six-Party Talks, the US government decided to change their
course of action in facing DPRK and their nuclear and missile
program. With the Foreign Policy Strategy’s Typology
concept, this article argues that the US uses confrontation
strategy to face North Korea’s threats through economic
sanction, monitoring, and military actions. | en_US |
