The United States and North Korea are in a tense nuclear stand-off; U.S.-South Korean relations are straining under the weight of rising anti-Americanism south of the DMZ. What options are open to U.S. policymakers to resolve these crises? On January 13 a panel of experts discussed:
- The security and diplomatic challenges that North Korea's nuclear program pose for the United States;
- Possible U.S. policy responses to Pyongyang's recent provocations; and
- The future of the U.S.-South Korea alliance in light of the rise of anti-American sentiment in the South.
Moderated by Asia specialist and director of the Institute's Research and Studies Program Paul Stares, the discussion was webcast live and followed by questions from the floor and the Internet audience.
