[학술논문] Strategy Optimization of Peripheral Nuclear States: Hybrid Modality Deterrence in Confronting Regional and Extra-Regional Threats
Peripheral nuclear states face distinct strategic and technological constraints when compared to the established nuclear powers. North Korea illustrates how such states can simultaneously adopt different nuclear postures towards distinct adversaries, calibrated to their respective threat profiles, through what may be described as a Hybrid Modality Deterrence model. Within this model, two posture types...
[학술논문] North Korea’s Space Militarization and Foresight of Security Dilemma on the Korean Peninsula
...serve both deterrent and provocative roles depending on the strategic context. To analyze this, we examine the phenomenon by exploring existing security dilemma theory, the offense-defense balance theory, and nuclear posture optimization models. We also consider the dual-use nature of satellite technology, which may contribute to deterrence stability while simultaneously increasing strategic ambiguity...
[학술논문] 비핀 나랑의 최적화 이론을 통한 북한의 핵전략 분석: 트럼프 2기 행정부 시기의 전망
...북러관계가 변화했으며, 북핵문제 해결을 위해 빅딜을 시도한 트럼프 정부가 다시 들어섰다. 현시점에서 북한 비핵화를 위해 북한의 핵태세(nuclear posture)를 분석하는 것은 의미 있을 것이다. 우선, 북한이 핵개발을 지속적으로 추구하는 동인에 대해 살펴보고 북한이 핵을 포기할 의지가 없으며 궁극적으로는 사실상 핵보유국 지위를 추구한다는 점을 주지하면서 북한의 핵능력을 검토하고, 이러한 능력을 바탕으로 어떠한 핵전략을 추구할 것인지 분석한다. 북한의 핵태세 분석에는 비핀 나랑(Vipin Narang)의 핵태세 최적화 이론(Nuclear Optimization Theory)을 적용하여 이론의 각 변수를 중심으로 북한이 추구할 핵태세를 점검하고, 현 안보 환경 아래서 트럼프 2기 행정부 시기의 북한이 택할...
[학술논문] North Korea’s Aggressive Nuclear Posture and its Implications -Based on the alternative nuclear optimization theory-
...state’s nuclear posture and diplomacy. To draw conclusion, firstly, throughout theoretical debate and empirical evidences, how North Korea’s nuclear and missile capabilities have changed will be addressed based on the fact that the North will endeavor to be recognized as a de facto nuclear weapons state is leaving no stone unturned. For the research purpose, I adopted the ‘nuclear optimization theory’ coined...
