Uniting Asia
With the waning of North Korea's nuclear ambitions, northeast Asia is experiencing a period of fragile stability. As Western Europe has shown, the way to consolidate peace and security is by expanding economic integration and constructing a regional political community.
North Korea’s nuclear ambitions seem to have died down, at least for now. The Six-Party Talks have, at long last, succeeded – thanks, apparently, to China’s solid opposition to the nuclearization of northeast Asia. Under the aegis of the Six-Party umbrella, the United States and North Korea have even held the bilateral talks that North Korea’s Kim Jong Il has long coveted.
