GraSPP Research Seminar
Both the Panmunjom summit of North and South Korea as well as the Singapore summit of North Korea and the United States have indicated commitments to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. This commitment, however, does not include specific process that may reduce and eliminate nuclear capabilities of North Korea. How, then, can we bring out denuclearization of the Korean peninsula? How can we connect such denuclearization to the broader aim of nuclear disarmament in East Asia? Inviting members of the Hiroshima roundtable, a project sponsored by the Hiroshima Prefecture, we wish to discuss the prospects of nuclear disarmament in the Asian context.
