Spending almost 30 months in the DPRK from March 2012\, mainly in Pyongyang but also making visits outside\, offered an opportunity to collect up-to-date materials\, especially photographs\, which may offer an insight into the changes taking place. These might offer a new angle to be considered and hopefully stimulate further discussion about what is really happening in the DPRK now.

DESCRIPTION:North Korea agreed in May to reopen an investigation into the abductions of Japanese nationals in the 1970s and ‘80s in exchange for sanctions relief from Tokyo. Some thought this step could lead to a breakthrough in Japan-North Korea ties\, but there has been little progress. Is this another North Korean deal gone bad\, or is there still potential in this process? \nFollowing a trip to North Korea\, Junya Nishino will discuss recent developments in Japan-North Korea relations and near-term prospects\, looking at motivations in both capitals for improving ties\, as well as the impact of these events on Japan's relations with Washington and Seoul. Scott Snyder will provide commentary and James L. Schoff will moderate. \nJunya Nishino\nJunya Nishino is an associate professor at Keio University and a specialist on Korea and Japan-Korea relations. Previously\, he was a visiting scholar at the Harvard-Yenching Institute and the Woodrow Wilson Center in addition to serving as a consultant for Japan's Foreign Ministry. \nScott Snyder\nScott Snyder is senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Schoff\nJames L. Schoff is a senior associate in Carnegie's Asia Program. His research focuses on U.S.-Japan relations and regional engagement\, Japanese politics and security\, and the private sector's role in Japanese policymaking.

There is still much confusion about the work that ambassadors do. “Outpost- Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy: A Memoir” by Ambassador Christopher Hill provides a vivid description of Hill’s life and work as an ambassador. The memoir touches on his involvement in the Balkan and Iraq wars\, to his role as chief disarmament negotiator in North Korea\, and gives personal insight about what he took away from it all.  \nAmbassador Christopher Hill is a four time ambassador who served his last tour from 2009 to 2010 in Iraq. He is currently the Dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.   \nJoin the World Affairs Council – Washington\, DC as we host Ambassador Christopher Hill\, author of “Outpost- Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy: A Memoir\,” which discusses the highs and lows of serving the country as an ambassador.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Following the event\, there will be a wine and cheese reception.

Yong Suk Lee will speak at Stanford to examine how an autocratic regime domestically counters the impact of economic sanctions\, specifically\, how the easing and tightening of sanctions impact the urban areas relative to the hinterlands in North Korea. Using the satellite luminosity data\, he argues sanctions that fail to change the autocrat's behavior increase inequality at a cost to the already marginalized hinterlands. Economist Yong Suk Lee has been appointed the SK Center Fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI)\, effective Sept. 1\, 2014.

Even modest improvements across the spectrum of today’s nuclear technology controls could greatly strengthen overall international efforts to constrain illicit nuclear procurement networks\, the study found. \n\nThe study calls for: \n\nPeer reviews of national export controls within the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group and within the European Union\nHigher penalties and heightened publicity when export control violators are brought to justice\nGreatly expanded post-export inspections to confirm compliance with license conditions\n\nThe researchers identify and analyze eight specific systems of technology control measures\, each distinct and complex in its own right: \n\nMeasures against originating parties\nExport licensing and control lists\nCustoms controls and inspections\nPrivate sector internal compliance programs\nFinancial measures\nEnforcement measures\nInternational outreach and capacity building\nTransportation and interdictions\n\nHighlighted in the study is that each system has international\, multi-state\, and national components\, which\, in toto\, create a system of systems working to halt illicit nuclear commodity transfers. \nA key development highlighted in the study is the growing role of private entity compliance programs in banking\, manufacturing\, and other sectors\, where the wholesale screening of transactions against lists of suspect end-users has placed multiple obstacles in the path of nuclear commodity smuggling networks\, forcing them to adopt increasingly complex and costly evasive measures. \nIn several instances\, the study urges the export control community to adopt the more robust measures used in the financial sphere to combat the financing of proliferation transactions\, including peer reviews\, with publication of findings and identification of countries that are underperforming or uncooperative. In addition\, the report highlights the overarching roles of diplomacy and intelligence sharing among foreign governments\, and notes that better mechanisms are needed for using intelligence information to defend sanctions designations when challenged in court.

It has forced its way into our imaginations\, yet so many developments in North Korea's economic and social relations are either ignored or misinterpreted. While the authorities search for non-threatening policy experiments\, young North Koreans seek opportunities in the business world. Choson Exchange focuses on supporting pragmatic\, talented North Koreans through training in business\, economic policy and law. \n Andray Abrahamian became interested in Korea issues following a trip to the DMZ in 2003. This inspired an MA in International Relations from the University of Sussex. He then earned a PhD focusing on Western media and images of North Korea\, while teaching International Relations at the University of Ulsan. He is the Executive Director of Choson Exchange and a CSIS Kelly Fellow. Andray speaks Korean and has visited the DPRK 20 times.

Following the screen will be a discussion with Jason Ahn\, the director and executive producer and Jieun Baek\, the producer of the film. \n\nAbout the Film:  When the border was drawn between North and South Korea\, hundreds of thousands of family members were left divided. During the Korean War (1950-1953) even more families were dislocated in the chaos of war. Over 60 years have passed since then and many Koreans immigrated to the United States in search of peace and hope. There are an estimated 100\,000 first generation Korean Americans with immediate family members in the North Korea.   Many of the family members have already passed away\, or are in their 70s-90s. Some have tried to contact their families through informal brokers\, but this uncertain avenue has led many divided family members to become disillusioned. Though US Citizens\, there are no formal mechanisms for family members in the United States to identify or even dream of reuniting with their families in North Korea. We hope that the film will raise awareness in the global community of this issue by documenting the stories of first generation Korean divided family members currently residing in the United States.

In “Tailored Engagement: Toward an Effective and Sustainable Inter-Korean Relations Policy\,” they explain how a more proactive South Korean approach to engaging North Korea could achieve important initial goals and eventually contribute to resolving fundamental issues on the peninsula. In this first presentation of their study at Stanford University\, the co-authors will review the background to the research\, lay out the study’s key recommendations\, and discuss the reception it has received in Seoul\, where it was first presented at a formal hearing of the South Korean National Assembly. \nGi-Wook Shin is a senior fellow at FSI and professor of sociology at Stanford University. David Straub is associate director of the Korea Program at APARC and a former director of the office of Korean affairs in the US Department of State.

Even for the best trained spies\, the truth about North Korean capabilities and intentions often remains elusive. More troubling\, few countries pose as great a threat to American interests as North Korea\, the center of a vast enterprise of nuclear proliferation and terrorism. The regime stockpiles nuclear weapons material and shares nuclear technology with other rogue actors. Pyongyang brazenly threatens its neighbors\, while Kim Jong-un – the 31-year-old dictator and son of the late Kim Jong-il – purges challengers to his authority and publicly executes those who seek access to greater freedoms. What do we know about the North Korean threat? What would it take to lift the shroud of secrecy that looms over the Hermit Kingdom? Join Mark Tokola\, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul\, South Korea; Bruce Klingner\, former CIA deputy division chief for Korea; Fred Fleitz\, former CIA analyst and expert in WMD proliferation; and Bruce Bechtol\, former Senior Intelligence Analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency and author of numerous papers and books on North Korea including The Last Days of Kim Jong-il: The North Korean Threat in a Changing Era\, to answer these and other questions. \nCosponsored by the Korea Economic Institute of America URL:https://www.hrnk.org/event/eyes-on-north-korea-threats-from-the-hermit-kingdom/ CATEGORIES:Events,North Korean Human Rights Events Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141120T181500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141120T194500 DTSTAMP:20260617T235822 CREATED:20190107T132107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190107T132108Z UID:712171-1416507300-1416512700@www.hrnk.org SUMMARY:Industrialization and its Consequences in North Korea & Northeast China\, 1930s-1960s DESCRIPTION:International History Seminar\, co-sponsored by the Georgetown Institute for Global History (History Department) and the Mortara Center for International Studies.  Our speaker is Dr. Charles Armstrong\, Columbia University.
