Abstract

Abstract Discourse on the Six Party Talks has focused solely on denuclearisation. Through the power struggles of the members and the refusal of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) to return to negotiations, the Six Party Talks have been stalled since 2008. Due to current increased tensions and the use of brinkmanship tactics the Talks must be restarted, albeit under a reformed shape. This paper analyses the potential role of the EU in furthering the peace process in Northeast Asia. This paper suggests that the EU needs to be more assertive and the Talks should focus on building trust and cooperation, not on the DPRK’s nuclear program. With its impartiality, experience in integration and use of soft power, the EU can act as an effective mediator building trust.

欧盟在六方会谈和北韩核危机中的潜在作用

关于六方会谈的讨论只集中在无核化问题上。由于成员国的权力斗争和朝鲜民主主义人民共和国拒绝重返谈判，六方会谈自2008年以来一直停滞不前。由于当前紧张局势加剧和边缘政策的使用，谈判必须重启，尽管是在改革的形式下。本文分析了欧盟在推进东北亚和平进程中的潜在作用。这篇论文表明，欧盟需要更加自信，会谈应该专注于建立信任与合作，而不是朝鲜的核计划。凭借其公正性、一体化经验和软实力的使用，欧盟可以充当建立信任的有效调解人。
