A Study on a Possibility of Change in the Biden Administration's Policy on JCPOA: A Constructive Perspective on Iranian Nuclear Issues

Abstract

This study aims to examine the JCPOA(Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) and America's reversibility to JCPOA in the future. Its purposes are as follows: Firstly, to examine the character of JCPOA from a perspective of ‘solutions to international conflict’ based on constructivism theory. Secondly, to analyze the key components of nuclear problems between Iran and America from a constructive perspective. Thirdly, to lay the foundations to analyze US policy toward the Middle East by recognizing how they proceeded with nuclear negotiations with Iran. The JCPOA was seen as one of the Obama administration's main achievements, but it was decimated when President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew in 2018. However, since Biden's election as president, he has been making steady efforts to revive the process. This study aims to examine how to solve the conflict between these two parties.
