Seminar on Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula

 

By Dr. Leon Sigal

Social Science Research Council, New York

 

 

 

The United States is blinkered by preconceived notions about dealing with North Korea, many of them doubtful. In his lecture Dr. Sigal will discuss his belief that negotiating with the North is the only realistic means of resolving the nuclear issue. The starting point for that effort is the September 19, 2005 joint statement, an agreement concluded in six-party talks for North Korea to abandon its nuclear program. However, he cautions that North’s “strategic patience” may not last for long.
