Media - Inside Story - North Korea: Altering the balance of power?

13 Feb 2013. North Korea has carried out its third nuclear test in defiance of international criticism. The test could bring North Korea one step closer to developing a warhead small enough to arm any of the many missile types it has stockpiled, which in turn would lead to other powers increasing their levels of nuclear deterence in a new and deeply dangerous arms race. Many had hoped that Kim Jong Un would distance himself from the military first policies of his father.
