Most recently\, innovative and effective sanctions have addressed Iran’s nuclear program and Russia’s aggression in Ukraine\, demonstrating the importance of coercive economic measures to U.S. foreign policy. But as sanctions have become a key piece of the U.S. strategy abroad\, policymakers and thought leaders have raised questions about the role\, effectiveness\, and centrality of sanctions in U.S. policy. \nThis CNAS public conference on U.S. sanctions and national security\, co-hosted with the Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law\, will feature an overview of administration policy on sanctions and a discussion among distinguished former policy leaders on the role for coercive economic measures in tackling the security challenges of the future. The event coincides with the release of a CNAS report on the effects and effectiveness of sanctions since 9/11. Some questions this conference will explore include: how can the United States measure and achieve intended effects from the use of coercive economic measures? What place should sanctions have in the U.S. national security arsenal? And as American rivals become more familiar with the tools of economic statecraft\, what defensive measures are available to protect U.S. interests from retaliation for the imposition of sanctions?

Russia and China have taken a more stern approach to follow the U.S. and South Korea lead in the U.N.\, but will still continue to engage economically with the rogue state. Seoul’s decision to close the Kaesong Industrial Complex marked the end of the largest Inter-Korean economic project\, raising a number of questions as to whether ties can ever be reestablished and under what conditions. Although Japan has had minimal economic interaction with North Korea\, normalization of relations with South Korea in 1960s presents a blueprint that could be attractive to both Tokyo and Pyongyang\, but require a number of contingencies to be addressed first.   Understanding the magnitude of North Korea’s economic relationships in the region as well as the impact of new constraints are vital to gauge the direction of ongoing trends with a country increasingly cut off from the global economy. Please join KEI as this panel explores these economic ties with North Korea from the perspective of partners and potential partners in Northeast Asia.\n\n Lunch will be served.
