Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the relations
between Japan and North Korea, identifying each nation's
concept of its own security interests. I have, by way of
introduction, described the present status of Korea, both
north and south, and examined the transitory division
between the two halves of what both profess is a single
divided country. Chapter II examines the strategic significance
of the Korean peninsula to China, the Soviet Union,
the United States, and Japan.
Chapters III and IV discuss North Korea and Japan's
foreign policy goals, especially as they relate to internal
and external security considerations. Chapter V attempts to
determine the nature of the accommodation between North Korea
and Japan, based on their own strategic interests. The effect
of this accommodation on the United States, should it accelerate,
reaching a positive conclusion; should it drag on with
little progress; or should it fail, will be examined in
Chapter VI.
