North Korea: Obama’s prime nonproliferation failure / Fitzpatrick, Mark

Fitzpatrick, Mark	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

North Korea is the biggest blemish on President Barack Obama’s nonproliferation record. Pyongyang’s four nuclear tests and more than 50 missile and rocket launches during the past eight years have given it a capacity to rain nuclear warheads on its regional adversaries and a good start to be able soon to reach the U.S. homeland.

Summary/Abstract

The worldwide euphoria surrounding the election of President Barack Obama in November 2008 is tempered today by recognition of the multiple domestic and international crises that the United States and the new administration confront. Similarly, initially exuberant expectations of what an Obama presidency might mean for US-Africa relations are gradually subsiding to more realistic and pragmatic proportions. Even so, the new administration, despite economic and other constraints, has an important opportunity to build on the achievements of the past decade in US-Africa policy and to forge a forward- looking strategy toward Africa that consolidates the continent's position in the mainstream of American foreign policy. In the context of the unfolding US and global recession and the daunting security and diplomatic challenges emanating from North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, capitalizing on this opportunity will require sustained leadership and vision. It will require strategic investments in US policy capacities and collaborative approaches with African and international partners. It will require careful management of the major Africa-focused institutional legacies of the George W. Bush administration.
