This report analyzes the threat North Korea poses to global security from three perspectives. These are 1) the military threat, which relates to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program as well as its implications for neighboring countries and the US; 2) Pyongyang's illicit means of financing itself, which include weapons sales; and 3) how North Korean's political situation threatens the country's own population. To help highlight how the international community can address the North Korean problem, the text’s authors additionally look at the different approaches South Korea, Japan, the US, China and Russia have adopted towards Pyongyang.
