The continuing activities of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in North East Asia have presented successive American Administrations with an extremely complex problem that has had many repercussions. In addition, the issue has complicated US relations with South Korea, Japan and China, driving wedges between linkages of long standing. The acquisition of nuclear devices and missiles by the DPRK has exacerbated American policies towards the DPRK, a small, poverty-stricken nation of 22 million people.
Prof. Cumings is an expert on North Korea and is the author of a number of publications on the subject, including the two-volume publication “The Origin of the Korean War.”
A light lunch will be provided for those who register in advance.
