One potentially useful device would be to embed confidence-building measures in a comprehensive road-map for South-North relations, as the Basic Agreement made a start at doing. Another potentially helpful step would be to reinforce South-North negotiations with a Northeast Asian multilateral forum or security mechanism. Security guarantees and transparency in bi...
