SUMMARY:Combating Illegal Nuclear Trade
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Nonproliferation Studies will feature Leonard Spector and Egle Murauskaite\, who will present their report titled “Countering Nuclear Commodity Smuggling: A System of Systems.” The report calls on the United States and other concerned countries to adopt tighter controls to stem the flow of nuclear-related goods to Iran\, North Korea\, and other states of proliferation concern. 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.

SUMMARY:A Changing North Korea
DESCRIPTION:Institute of East Asian Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley will host Andray Abrahamian\, the Executive Director of the Choson Exchange for a discussion on developments in North Korea's economic and social relations. \n\nEach one of us has some conception of North Korea. 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.

SUMMARY:Screen of Documentary Film "Divided families"
DESCRIPTION:The Korea Institute of Harvard University will host a screening of “Divided Families\,” a documentary about families separated due to the Korean War. 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.

SUMMARY:Tailored Engagement: Towards an Effective and sustainable Inter-Korean Relations Policy
DESCRIPTION:The Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies will host Gi-Wook Shin and David Straub\, who will present their study of “Tailored Engagement: Toward an Effective and Sustainable Inter-Korean Relations Policy.” \n\nWith the strategic situation on and around the Korean Peninsula continuing to worsen\, Shorenstein APARC Director Gi-Wook Shin and his colleagues recently issued a major policy study arguing that South Korea is the only power in the region that might be both willing and able to change the current dangerous trajectory. 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. Dan Sneider is associate director of research at APARC. \n

SUMMARY:Eyes on North Korea: Threats from the Hermit Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:Few places on earth remain as mysterious and forbidding as North Korea. 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

SUMMARY:LinK Jangmadang Tour: San Diego State University-Rescue Team
DESCRIPTION:Jangmadang[jang ‘ ma ‘ dang]: A North Korean word for market. A place where North Koreans gather to buy and sell goods\, and talk\nNorth Korea is the most oppressive country in the world\, but change is happening at the grassroots level. This tour will focus on one of the most significant trends emerging today: the Jangmadang Generation. This is your chance to hear our North Korean peers describe what's happening in their country and learn how we can help.\n  \nABOUT THE EVENT\nWe are privileged to bring you the voices and insights of our friends who have experienced the challenges and changes in North Korea first hand. We worked with Joo Yang\, Yeonmi Park\, and Joseph Kim to produce a personal\, dynamic and engaging multimedia presentation. \nJoo Yang worked making taffy\, sweet rice drinks\, and alcohol to sell in the Jangmadang before she escaped North Korea. Since resettling\, she's enrolled in college and participates in the popular South Korean talent and talk show\, “Now on My Way to Meet You\,” which aims to bridge the gap between North and South Koreans. \nYeonmi Park bought and sold products in the Jangmadang. Wanting to make money on her own\, she even bribed an orchard guard so she could get some fruit to sell. Now in South Korea\, she studies police administration at Dongguk University and speaks around the world about the challenges that the North Korean people face. \nJoseph Kim escaped North Korea after living on the streets as an orphan. Since resettling in the United States\, Joseph graduated high school and started college. Last year\, he spoke from the TED stage\, sharing his story of hope with the world. \nThis is a unique chance to hear directly from North Koreans (through videos that address the audience) about life inside North Korea and what we can do to help. \nYou will gain a better understanding of the challenges the people face and the ways they are overcoming them from some of the most amazing North Koreans we know. Our North Korean friends will share incredible insight\, hope\, and inspiration. \n\n\nEvents can be tailored to meet your needs\, but generally look like this: \n\n\n30-minute\, live\, multimedia presentation given by LiNK Nomads (our traveling representatives). \n\n\n10-minute Q&A \n\n\nInformation and involvement booth to carry on the conversation after the presentation. \n\n\nThrough 13 North American tours and over 4\,000 events\, we have reached over 300\,000 people at schools\, places of worship\, community groups\, and even coffee shops. We're honored to have presented at some pretty cool places like Google\, Harvard\, Yale\, and West Point. LiNK events can be hosted anywhere!

SUMMARY:LinK Jangmadang Tour: Ashland Community-Rescue Team
DESCRIPTION:Jangmadang[jang ‘ ma ‘ dang]: A North Korean word for market. A place where North Koreans gather to buy and sell goods\, and talk\nNorth Korea is the most oppressive country in the world\, but change is happening at the grassroots level. This tour will focus on one of the most significant trends emerging today: the Jangmadang Generation. This is your chance to hear our North Korean peers describe what's happening in their country and learn how we can help.\n  \nABOUT THE EVENT\nWe are privileged to bring you the voices and insights of our friends who have experienced the challenges and changes in North Korea first hand. We worked with Joo Yang\, Yeonmi Park\, and Joseph Kim to produce a personal\, dynamic and engaging multimedia presentation. \nJoo Yang worked making taffy\, sweet rice drinks\, and alcohol to sell in the Jangmadang before she escaped North Korea. Since resettling\, she's enrolled in college and participates in the popular South Korean talent and talk show\, “Now on My Way to Meet You\,” which aims to bridge the gap between North and South Koreans. \nYeonmi Park bought and sold products in the Jangmadang. Wanting to make money on her own\, she even bribed an orchard guard so she could get some fruit to sell. Now in South Korea\, she studies police administration at Dongguk University and speaks around the world about the challenges that the North Korean people face. \nJoseph Kim escaped North Korea after living on the streets as an orphan. Since resettling in the United States\, Joseph graduated high school and started college. Last year\, he spoke from the TED stage\, sharing his story of hope with the world. \nThis is a unique chance to hear directly from North Koreans (through videos that address the audience) about life inside North Korea and what we can do to help. \nYou will gain a better understanding of the challenges the people face and the ways they are overcoming them from some of the most amazing North Koreans we know. Our North Korean friends will share incredible insight\, hope\, and inspiration. \n\n\nEvents can be tailored to meet your needs\, but generally look like this: \n\n\n30-minute\, live\, multimedia presentation given by LiNK Nomads (our traveling representatives). \n\n\n10-minute Q&A \n\n\nInformation and involvement booth to carry on the conversation after the presentation. \n\n\nThrough 13 North American tours and over 4\,000 events\, we have reached over 300\,000 people at schools\, places of worship\, community groups\, and even coffee shops. We're honored to have presented at some pretty cool places like Google\, Harvard\, Yale\, and West Point. LiNK events can be hosted anywhere!
