    Abstract

    Crisis looms again in Korea. Last month, the United States Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, declared US readiness to fight wars on two fronts (meaning Iraq and North Korea), confident of winning decisively in one and swiftly defeating the other. Steps to refer the disputed nuclear issues to the United Nations Security Council were foreshadowed and the possibility of sanctions, intrusive inspections and an "Iraq scenario" loomed. On New Year's Day, President George Bush made efforts to talk the situation down, but the stand-off continues. North Korea's nuclear designs remain shrouded in mystery while its political isolation and economic crisis deepen.
