For many years, North Korean proliferation to both state and nonstate actors has gone largely unnoticed in both policy and academic circles. The book examines how North Korean proliferation presents an international security dilemma that policy makers in many nations should address—and take efforts to contain. It details that, whether it is in the Middle East, Africa, or even as far away as Cuba, North Korea continues to change its tactics, techniques, and procedures in order to bring in money for the regime and support the elite as well as the military and its programs. In addition to contributing to the evidence chain on how North Korea actually disseminates its weapons systems, it also provides clear, concise, and unambiguous policy recommendations that will appeal to those with an interest in national security policy, international studies, US for...

As such, it focuses on the necessary military issues, some of the likely scenarios where these issues would arise (there are simply too many to address them all in this paper), and the likely political factors in South Korea, the United States, and the international community that would be at play during this time period. China is likely to be the “ elephant in the room,” though diplomacy with Beijing will be key and the Chinese are unlikely to agree to anything unless it is very clear to the world that North Korea is obviously in the throes of collapse, civil war, or complete anarchy. Any contingency operation into North Korea will be a very large, very expensive operation. South Korea simply does not have all of the resources or the military capabilities to carry out such an operation on its own —but it should lead any effort to intervene in ...

Most of this cooperation has been in the form of North Korean proliferation of weapons, training, assistance, and advisors. North Korea has assisted Syria in at least two forms of WMD-a chemical weapons program, and a plutonium nuclear weaponization program. While both of these programs have been largely destroyed, Syria will likely rebuild its chemical weapons program with North Korean assistance if not deterred by the international community. Conventional weapons are also an international security issue, as North Korea has proliferated a large number of weapons systems that have been used in the Syrian civil war by the Syrian army and Hezbollah fighters. North Korea has been a vital supporter of the Assad regime`s military throughout the Syrian civil war. Korean analysts should take note of how chemical weapons were used in the Syrian civil war because this is likely going to be a test-bed for future North Korean a...
