General Overview of the Topic Considering security issues at the international level, it should be admitted that there is no unanimity concerning paradigms and theories providing a definitive solution to defense problems in the world. Hence, there is no agreement over the research programs that can positively influence the current situation (Harvey 114). With regard to present pluralism of security programs, there is still the necessity to work out a comprehensive solution that would incorporate international and regional goals in terms of security. In the light of the Cold War events, a tense confrontation between North and South Korea is really critical from the perfective of international security policy. The Korean situation has entered even a more tensed opposition due to the North’s nuclear weapons program leading to a serious crisis in 1994 (Kim 2). The nuclear crises, hence, has become a starting point in disagreements over the appropriate strategies for solving the problems in North Korea. In order to conceive the consistency and essence of the problem, it is necessary to provide conventional understanding of this security policy studies. Definition of Security Politics Security Policy Studies is a political program whose major focus is made on international security problems and the way the policy reacts to those problems in the light of emerging security threats. The most urgent dangers involve weapons of mass destruction, regional conflicts, international crime, and implications arising from the globalization process. In addition, security issues also consider international and regional policy reactions to the problems, including the military, the intelligence community operations, international economic policy-makers, and diplomats. While putting an emphasis on the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and regional conflicts in East Asia, it is purposeful to consider the main approaches and policy responses toward the security issues to work possible solutions to the problems under consideration (Such et al. 2). Policy Responses towards the Threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction The primary goal of nuclear policy was narrowed to proliferating fear of war. The growing tendency of using power for deterrent purposes, but not for defensive ones, has made the idea of a mere defeating an adversary senseless. Nowadays, the states are striving to strengthen their military forces, but not for the purpose of increasing defense capabilities. Rather, some states, particular those of Asian region, fear that they will not be able to protect their population with the help of conventional weapons (Brown et al. 23). The threat of deterrent actions leaves them no chances for erasing the nuclear power from their armory. Analyzing different conventions preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the international policy has worked out several strategies to respond to this problem. To begin with, the main aim of the international program is to convince the countries to join the problem of weapons reduction and confirm their consent to destroy the existing chemical weapons (Armistead 81). Second, the international policies are also directed on controlling particular activities in chemical and scientific industries to minimize the risk of chemical deployment. Third, the programs also seek to provid
