The aim of this work is to get a deeper understanding concerning the events following the end of the six party talks 2009, when North Korea decided to withdraw. By using analytical security perspectives, neorealism and neoliberalism a further understanding for the previous members from the six party talks approaches will be discussed in this qualitative case study. By going through books and articles concerning this series of events, a deepening understanding for the security policy in east Asia accurse, and the complexity of nuclear states. The study shows that Russia, China, South Korea, Japan and the US are in some ways eager to have further discussions concerning denuclearisation in North Korea. In this process of maximising their own state security, other states have shown a greater fear if a neorealist security approach is used.
