Politicized Security and Unchanging Strategic Realities on the Korean Peninsula

Despite a flurry of unprecedented inter-Korean and U.S.-North Korea summits in 2018 and 2019, the military situation on the Korean Peninsula remains unchanged. Indeed, as Kim Jong Un's remarks on strengthening North Korea's nuclear forces indicate, Pyongyang will continue to stretch the WMD envelope. However, political leaders often paint an optimistic picture of changing relations with North Korea that obfuscates strategic realities. The recently released Korea Net Assessment addresses the gap between strategic realities and political assessments on the issues most important to Korean security: North Koreas military threat, the health of the alliance, and South Korean relations with China and Japan.

Join us for a conversation on politicized security with the authors of the Korea Net Assessment:
