North Korean nuclear crisis: settlement perspectives

The risk of an aggravation of the situation on and around the Korean peninsula still remains, fore the current nuclear crisis has no prospects of a prompt political resolution. Even a general outline is missing for a possible compromise on such issues as verification and monitoring, security guaranties for North Korea, sequence of steps to be taken by Pyongyang and the other participants of the six-party talks. Apparently North Korea will seek additional concessions from the other participants of the negotiations. This may lead to a less stable strategic configuration and an arms race in the region. Under the circumstances, the other participants in negotiations should develop and implement a joint political line based on sanctions against the North Korean leadership - to prevent the worst case scenarios on the Korean peninsula.

Russian–American Security Relations After Georgia
Rose Gottemoeller explains that established and well-understood treaties and agreements, which have previously inspired at least predictability and confidence in the bilateral relationship, could help establish a new book of rules both countries can embrace. The author gives the recommendations for Russian and U.S. leaders: to prevent the START Treaty from being swept away in the aftermath of the Georgia crisis; to begin reengagement with the Russians towards a new system of security in Europe on basis of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty; to convene a commission of past presidents – U.S. and Russian – to resolve how to weave Russia and its security interests into the full fabric of European security.
