  • Coping with a Nuclear North Korea
    Coping with a Nuclear North Korea Zhang Liangui On Oct. 9, 2006, North Korea brazenly carried out a nuclear test in defiance of the international community. The test reveals that long ago the DPRK’s leaders made a decision to develop and possess nuclear weapons. Having crossed the nuclear threshold, it is unlikely that Pyongyang will give up its possession of such weapons. North Korea’s action was undoubtedly a challenge to the international community’s staunch opposition to nuclear proliferation. It has furthermore seriously damaged peace and stability in Northeast Asia. If North Korea’s acquisition of nuclear weapons is analyzed from the perspective of the North Korean nuclear crisis as a process still underway as well as the result of North Korea already a nuclear nation, we find that the degree of cost and benefit differs for each of the relevant parties. Regardless, however, China is the big- gest loser. Zhang Liangui is professor of international strategic research at the Party School of the China Communist Party Central Committee. In 1968 he graduated from the Kim II Sung University in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. He is an influential analyst and is considered one of Beijing’s top North Korea experts. China Security, Autumn 2006, pp.2 - 18 ©2006 World Security Institute 2 China Security Autumn 2006 Coping With a Nuclear NK The North Korean move clearly runs counter to its own repeated promise to keep the Korean Peninsula free of nuclear weapons and has crossed the red line set by the international community on the issue.

  • AMERICAN FRANCOPHOBIA TAKES a NEW TURN Justin Vaïsse
    03-Vaïsse 6/14/03 4:37 PM Page 17 AMERICAN FRANCOPHOBIA TAKES A NEW TURN Justin Vaïsse Center on the United States and France, Brookings Institution At the dawn of the 21st century, something new may be happening in the heartland of America: the spread of a negative image of France.1 Traditionally, a mostly positive image of France linked to its reputation for good food, high fashion, and sophisticated tourism, coexisted with a somewhat negative image in some elite circles. But the most important factor was definitely a lack of knowledge and the fact that above all, indifference reigned supreme. (See Body-Gendrot in this issue.) “Francophobia” (not a very satisfactory term2) does not constitute rational criticism of France. It expresses a systematic bias against this country, the way anti-Americanism does against the United States. It is based on a set of stereo- types, prejudices, insults, and ready-made judgments. Moreover, like anti- Americanism it deliberately conflates what a country is and what it does. Negative stereotypes about personal characteristics of the French, (for exam- ple, they are lazy, immoral, or arrogant) are combined with stereotypes about French society (elitist, unwilling to modernize, or anti-American) and stereo- types about French foreign policy (allegedly based on purely commercial inter- ests or nostalgia for past glory) to produce a complete, if sometimes self-contradictory, discourse of disparagement, what Jean-Philippe Mathy calls in this issue a “system of Francophobia,” a web of loosely related clichés that can be mobilized at will—especially, of course, when a diplomatic crisis erupts.

    SOUTiERN AFRICA,EWS BULLETIN Committee on Southern Africa, National Student Christian Federation, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y. 10027. Room 754. RHODESIA NEWS SUM\lvARY Week of April 21-27 EDiI OAIALS The Johannesburg Star - April 23, 1966 The Rhodesian break with London recently must not be seen as an act of desperation in the face of defeat at Beira. Rat>ei' it is a notice to W4ilson that Smith is confident, and willing to escalate the struggle if need be. "If this should lead to a reappraisal in London and open the way to a new approach, a ray of light may yet penetrate the gathering gloom." The Observer - April 24, 1966 "Waiting for Dr. V." "Everybody caught up in the Rhodesian crisis is now in a fix-- Mr. Smith, Dr. Verwoerd, Dr. Salazar, the African leaders, the United States, the United Nations, and most of all Mr. Wilson." The current talks between Verwoerd and Smith show scant hope of forcing Rhodesia into negotiations; the main problem for Britain is to persuade both men that she means business with sanctions. The fiction of Rhodesia as a purely domestic concern must be abandoned once and for all, and Britain must commit herself to support of full international sanctions against Rhodesia, and against anyone who violates them. Obviously there are dangers involved with such a policy. "But the best hope of avoiding a head-on clash with South Africa is to show willingness to contemplate it.0 The only other alternatives are appeasement or military force. Sunday Express - London - April 24, 1966 It praises Dr.
