Zwar hat Nordkorea die Spannungen<br /> durch seinen Rückzug vom Atomwaffensperrvertrag angeheizt, aber das<br /> Regime Kim Jong Il dürfte damit vor allem die Absicht verfolgen,<br /> sich gegen einen militärischen Erstschlag zu schützen. Dieser<br /> Schutz wurde Pjöngjang in einer Geheimklausel des Abkommens von<br /> 1994 mit der Clinton-Regierung zugesichert, durch die neue<br /> Militärdoktrin der Bush-Regierung aber praktisch widerrufen. Doch<br /> eine militärische Aktion der USA gegen Nordkorea würde die ganze<br /> Region in einen Krieg stürzen. Deshalb hält die Regierung Roh Moo<br /> Hyun in Südkorea an der Politik der Aussöhnung mit dem Norden<br /> fest. Und auch Japan hält nichts von einer zu harten Haltung der<br /> USA gegenüber Nordkorea. </p> </div> <aside> <div class="px05"> <p class="lh4 fw500 color-black-50"><time datetime="2003-03-03T00:00:00+00:00" itemprop="datePublished">3 March 2003</time></p> </div> </aside> </div> </article> </div> </div>  <div class="py05 md-py1"> <div class="paginate p05">  </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="holygrail__left">   <div class="wrap24 py1 md-py1"> <header class="p1 row items-center"> <div class="px05"> <h2 class="ez-boxed p05 h3 lh2 fw400">Read in Journals</h2> </div> <div class="p05 span1 div color-black-10"></div> </header> <div class="md-grid ld-grid"> <article class="p1 ac"> <figure class="p05"><a class="journal__cover block max10 mx" href="https://www.eurozine.com/journals/le-monde-diplomatique-berlin/" ><img class="block w100" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/93d4c33eefb28acdf1010763d2b37094.jpg" srcset="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/93d4c33eefb28acdf1010763d2b37094.jpg 160w,https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/0ab9a415d874fc142d972f73797e6680.jpg 320w" alt="le monde diplomatique berlin logo" ></a></figure> <div class="p025"> <div class="p025"> <h3 class="h4 lh3"><a class="ul-black-10:hover" href="https://www.eurozine.com/journals/le-monde-diplomatique-berlin/" >Le Monde diplomatique (Berlin)</a></h3> </div> <aside class="p025"> <p class="lh4 fw500 color-black-50">Germany</p> </aside> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <div class="holygrail__right"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <aside class="bg-black-05"> <div class="wrap24 py1 md-py1"> <div class="p05 ld-row justify-between items-center"> <div class="mx md-row flex-wrap items-left"> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-osf.png" width="150" height="40" ></div> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-wk.svg" width="130" height="40" ></div> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-bko-sharp.png" width="236" height="58" ></div> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-chbeck.png" height="34" width="160" ></div> <div class="span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-ecf.png" height="85" width="120" ></div> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-zeit.png" height="54" width="149" ></div> <div class="p1 span1 span-auto"><img class="block mx" src="https://www.eurozine.com/wp-content/themes/eurozine-theme/img/footer-fritt.png" height="70" width="62" ></div> </div> </div> </div> </aside> <footer class="bg-black color-white"> <div class="wrap24 py1 md-py2"> <div class="px05 py1 footer-nav"> <div class="footer-nav-logo px1 mb1 col items-center"> <div class="py05"><svg class="block" width="58" height="64"> <title>Eurozine
