Abstract: This study looked into the international negotiation patterns of North Korea with special regard to the process of the second North Korean nuclear crisis. The study shows that North Korea's negotiation patterns were not greatly different from those in the Cold War era: strategies of bluffing, threat, carrot-and-stick, etc. were also reproduced during the second North Korean crisis. In addition, the level of negotiations was not determined by the difference in power which was visible between weak and strong nations. It is highly possible that the existing negotiation patterns will be repeated in the future. Especially, carrot-and-stick, bluffing, frontal breakthrough and non-action are the negotiation patterns and strategies expected to be frequently used. However, this forecast seems to be floating, depending on North Korea's negotiation environment
