    Este trabajo analiza y reflexiona sobre la tensión que sigue vigente en el proceso de proliferación y desarme nuclear de Corea del Norte. Luego de un momento de alta tensión en 2017 y una detonante en 2018, es necesario volver a explorar lo que sucede con el programa nuclear de los norcoreanos. Él mismo, no solo genera una problemática en la arquitectura nuclear global, sino que además, se ha transformado en una cuestión de balance de poder entre Estados Unidos y China. Para desarrollar esta temática, a través de fuentes primarias y secundarias, se desarrolla un trabajo de carácter descriptivo, que permite observar por qué los Estados proliferan o no lo hacen; la justificación de Corea del Norte para proliferar; la tensión histórica y actual entre Estados Unidos y Corea del Norte y el rol que hoy China adquiere en el proceso de contención, proliferación y/o eliminación del programa nuclear de los norcoreanos.

    This paper analyzes and reflects on the current tension regarding the proliferation and denuclearization in North Korea. After an incident during 2017 and a later detente in 2018, it has become necessary to, once again, analyze the current standing of North Korea’s nuclear program. The very existence of the program strains the global nuclear architecture and contributes to the current power struggle between the United States and China. This work was developed based on primary and secondary sources and attempts to tackle issues such as the capacity of states for nuclear proliferation, the validity of North’s Korea nuclear program and the present and past tension between the United States and North Korea, and China’s role is taken into account with regards to the containment, proliferation and/or elimination of North’s Korea nuclear program.
