Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
Democratic People‟s Republic of Korea‟s machismo towards nuclear ascendancy in the Korean Peninsula constitutes presentiments of regional and global security nightmare and „proliferation tipping point.‟ The nuclear ascendancy is against American-led „global zero‟ for a nuclear-free world (Marin-Bosch, 2009; NTI, 15 January 2008; Maliki, 14 March 2014):“America seeks a world in which there are no nuclear weapons” (Daalder and Holume, 5 October 2007). The broad objective of this paper is to examine the nexus between Global Zero Action Plan and denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. The specific objective is to underscore the import of President Donald Trump‟s „America First‟ doctrine in the political realm ofdenuclearisation of Korean contumacious nuclear programme.Data were drawn from secondary sources including United Nations‟ documents, International Atomic Energy Agency documents, Global Zero official statements, declarations and reports, Text of Trump-Kim declaration,textbooks, journals, magazines, newspapers and internet sources. Data were analysed qualitatively by the application of the realist variant of power theory, based on single-case pretest-post-test non-experimental design and statistical tables.Result shows that President Trump‟s actor-based approach through a combination of diplomatic, sanctions, economic, deterrence, and propaganda instruments in pursuing DPRK‟s denuclearisation conform squarely to great-power strategy, American foreign policy goals, guidelines and overall national interest necessitated by U.S.-DPRK relations.
