| Author | Wenjing, Yang |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As he approaches the end of his presidency, Barack Obama, who successfully handled thaws in US-Myanmar and US-Cuba relations, facilitated the signing of a nuclear deal with Iran and promised to“offer an outstretched hand”to enemy states, made no breakthroughs in North Korea. North Korea policy, rather, entered a deadlock. The North Korean nuclear problem has become“one of the most vexing and persistent problems in US foreign policy post Cold War”. Obama’s long-held strategic patience approach has worsened the situation. There is little chance that Obama will change this policy in the short time left of his presidency, so this paper has attempted a deeper analysis into strategic patience in order to better understand US’North Korea policy and to provide reference for China’s own North Korea policy. |
