This paper argues that North Korea’s nuclear weapons program can be viewed from two angles. The author states that if North Korea is recognized as an emerging nuclear state, then it is hardly surprising that it would test its new weapons. Another way to view North Korea’s nuclear test is to see it as the provocative action of an international rogue state that has willfully chosen to violate a host of bilateral and multilateral commitments and agreements. In both cases, working for regime-change remains mandatory, the author concludes.
