Abstract

With the deepening of globalization, international crises can transcend borders and spread worldwide, threatening the security and development of all humanity. Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the theory of crisis management within international politics has gradually matured, leading to the emergence of crisis management models such as third-party intervention, as it has been said, "strategies may no longer exist in the future; instead, crisis management will take their place" [1]. At the same time, individuals acting as third parties have become important managers of international crises, with their strategies and autonomy influencing the course of crisis resolution. This paper uses the First North Korean Nuclear Crisis as a case study to summarize the modes of personal third-party intervention in crisis management and analyze how individuals effectively advanced the negotiation process.
