碩士 === 東吳大學 === 政治學系 === 99 === The thesis attempts to apply two level conflict prevention approaches- structural prevention and operational prevention, to help us understanding the diplomatic pattern on Korean Peninsula, and to explore the reasons why the diplomatic tools of the actors concerned having taken worked successfully or unsuccessfully. First, the thesis examines structural prevention in the conflict context interlacing with global, interstate and intrastate level; and then examine operational prevention from 1994 to 2010, after three U.S. president terms-Clinton, young Bush, and incumbent Obama. The study finds that U.S. three governments have dealt with North Korea’s nuclear issue in a number of strategies, however, it seemed to result in the policy circulation effect. In the aspect of U.S. preventing the conflicts on Korean Peninsula, it do prevent the happen of wars, and still not resolve the conflict triggered by North Korea’s nuclear weapon issues. Probably it may be identified conflict management.
