To discuss the resumption of the stalled six party talks, simple comparative analysis of the positions of related nations alone is inadequate. What is needed is an analysis of the multi party negotiation structure and a third party intervention model needed for solving the problems between the related parties. At issue is the problem of deciding whether to consider an outside mediator to solve this impasse or to choose one of the related countries as a 3mediator. Also, should either China or South Korea be expected to take on this mediator role, one of the strategic consideration is deciding on what this role is going to be. Theoretically, the role of a mediator can be diverse and includes that of issue communicator, conflict mitigator or proposal arbitrator for solving cultural problems. It is questionable as to whether South Korea or China can be expected to fulfill this role of mediator during the six party talks. Lastly, questions remain as to whether mediation needs to be neutral or prejudiced or partial in order for it to be successful, In theory, the neutrality or objectivity is considered as an important factor for success in mediation. It remains, however, to be seen whether such factors laid out in theory can be applicable to the six party talks for solving the North Korean nuclear issue.
