Abstract: Today, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) seriously threaten international security as states are in need of obtaining nuclear weapons. As the international system is anarchic, states need to provide their own security and as realism suggests the most important objective to achieve this is to have strong military power. States seek to increase their military power by acquiring nuclear weapons, even though there are numerous agreements that ban the production, transfer, and use of nuclear weapons unless they are for friendly purposes. The breakdown of the Soviet Union left states with their nuclear stockpiles and these weapons needed to be eliminated and secured before getting into wrong hands. The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program is introduced as a case study to show how it can assist states to become nuclear free. The Nunn-Lugar CTR Program was successfully achieved in the former Soviet Union. On the other hand, North Korea has been expanding its nuclear stockpile and testing nuclear weapons. Today, North Korea seriously challenges international security with its nuclear experiments. The aim of the thesis is to provide necessary information to show that the CTR program cannot be applied to North Korea and to demonstrate how Trump Administration is challenged by North Korean nuclear activities.
ÖZ: Günümüzde kitle imha silahları uluslararası güvenliği tehlikeye sokan önemli bir husustur. Uluslararası sistemin anarşik olması ve devletlerin kendi güvenliklerini sağlamak zorunda olmaları, realizme göre güçlü orduya sahip olmaktan geçmektedir. Dünya üzerinde her ne kadar nükleer silahların üretilmesi, kullanılması ve taşınmasını engelleyen sınırlayan ve yasaklayan antlaşmalar olsa dahi, devletler ordularını güçlendirmek adına kitle imha silahlarına başvurmaktadır. Sovyetler Birliğinin yıkılmasından sonra barındırdığı devletler yüksek miktarda kitle imha silahlarıyla birlikte korunmasız hale gelmiştir. Bu silahların terörist grupların ellerine geçmeden yok edilmesi ve güvence altına alınması gerekmektedir. Öte yandan, Kuzey Kore nükleer testler yapmakta ve uluslararası güvenliği tehdit etmektedir. Bu tezin amacı Nunn-Lugar Programının Sovyetler Birliğine uygulanıp başarılı olmasından dolayı aynı şekilde Kuzey Kore‘de uygulanabilirliğini test etmek olup, Trump hükümetini ne şekilde tehdit ettiğini ortaya çıkarmaktır.
