| Summary/Abstract |
Despite the unceasing efforts of the international community to halt North Korea’s
nuclear ambitions, North Korea’s nuclear development and missile technology
have aggressively progressed over time. Why did the efforts fail and what would
be the new direction to fix the problem, if necessary? To answer these central
questions, this paper attempts to analyze the problems of sanctions on North Korea
and assess North Korea’s nuclear development and capability. This paper suggests
that a recalibration of policy measures, including a dual–track strategy that, on the
one hand leads to internal change in the North, while on the other, results in strong
external pressure, continues to be significant for the ultimate resolution of North
Korea’s nuclear quandaries. If left alone, the nuclear situation in North Korea may
likely shift from the previously limited problem of denuclearization on the Korean
peninsula to the broader global concern of nonproliferation.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to explain China's defence conversion programme. There are inherent structural difficulties encountered in the beating of swords into ploughshares. China sought to resolve problems associated with its defence-conversion programme with grand strategic planning involving concerted efforts from all three pillars of power -- the party, the state and the army. A review of the defence-conversion programme suggests that the role of the military can be extended to encompass non-traditional missions during peacetime in order to reduce the burden on the national economy of defence spending, not only by diversification out of defence production but also by integration of the armed forces into more development-oriented activities.
