This article examines the distinctive approach developed by the EU towards North Korea and, more generally, Northeast Asia. It argues that Europe has succeeded – albeit inadvertently and without a clear strategy – to engage the region in a comprehensive way, i.e. one that includes both harsher sanctions vis-a-vis the DPRK as well as support for regional initiatives aimed at cooperation and reconciliation among China, Japan and South Korea. Such an approach – too often overlooked – deserves instead serious consideration, since it could help the region’s policymakers to address not only North Korea’s threat but also mounting nationalism which put at risk Northeast Asia’s peace and stability.

Sans réelle stratégie et peut-être sans y réfléchir, l’Europe a réussi à s’insérer de façon globale dans la région, ce qui inclut tout aussi bien les sanctions les plus dures à l’encontre de la Corée du Nord et le soutien à des initiatives régionales en faveur de la réconciliation et de la coopération entre la Chine, le Japon et la Corée du Sud. Une telle approche – trop souvent scrutée – mérite une plus sérieuse prise en compte car elle pourrait aider les décideurs de la région à traiter la menace nord-coréenne et le nationalisme grandissant qui pose un risque à la paix et à la stabilité de l’Asie du Nord-Est.
