Description

For many, North Korea is simply a rogue state with nuclear weapons led by a man President Trump has referred to as “little rocket man.” But there is far more to North Korea than rockets. In his not to be missed talk, Dr. Stephan Haggard, who often serves as the world’s go-to source for making sense of economic, political and security developments on the Korean Peninsula, will explore how the international community might convince Pyongyang to finally come in from the cold.
