United States and North Korea Nuclear Tension and the Politics of Power Relation and Global Security (Published)
The nuclear tension between the United States and North Korea has been a focal point of international relations and global security for decades. This tension arises from North Korea’s persistent pursuit of nuclear capabilities and the United States’ efforts to curb this ambition through diplomatic, economic, and military strategies. The interplay of power politics is evident in the sanctions imposed by the US and its allies, North Korea’s strategic provocations, and the periodic yet fragile negotiations aimed at denuclearization. The study explores the historical context of the US-North Korea nuclear standoff, examining key events and policies that have shaped the current landscape. It also analyzes the broader implications for global security, including the role of international organizations, the impact on regional stability in East Asia, and the potential for nuclear proliferation. By understanding the dynamics of power relations and the strategic interests of both nations, these abstract aims to provide a comprehensive overview of one of the most critical security challenges in contemporary international politics.

National Interest and Warfare Ecosystem 1: Global Balance-of-Power Strategies (Published)
Creating an institutional framework on a global scale to understand balance-of-power strategies is the crux of foreign policy today with United States superpower exceptionalism. ‘Altercating’ defence, diplomacy and development encapsulate the United States foreign policy in relation to national interests globally. Role theory applied in comparing the United States and Chinese grand strategies as case studies. The United States superpower statecraft’s clarity help superimposed any form of countervailing alliances globally; while China’s sociological pragmatist role currently could change based on ‘Power Transition Theory’ for hegemony power. Beijing is pursuing a grand strategy that combines both ‘internal balancing’ and external ‘soft balancing’, encapsulated as ‘warfare ecosystem construct’ as countervailing alliances for balance-of-power strategies with development of ‘Economic Corridors’ in East Asia ; and the United States ‘Globalization Agenda’ both executed as ‘mechanisms of power’ date back to their ‘hegemonic histories’ with adaptive construct for national interests.
