The East-West Center in Washington invites you to an Asia Pacific Political Economy Seminar and launch of:
Engaging North Korea: The Role of Economic Statecraft
Featuring: Dr. Marcus Noland Non-Resident Senior Fellow, East-West Center Deputy Director and Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics
Nowhere is the efficacy of economic inducements and sanctions more hotly contested than on the Korean peninsula. Assessments are sharply divided. Critics of engagement argue that positive inducements are fraught with moral hazard and the risk of blackmail, encouraging the very behavior they are designed to forestall, while proponents regard it as a strategy that has never consistently been put to the test. In this presentation, Marcus Noland will discuss his recently-released, co-authored Policy Studies Series monograph Engaging North Korea: The Role of Economic Statecraft, and examine the efficacy of economic statecraft vis-à-vis North Korea. He will especially focus on the use of sanctions and inducements on the part of the United States in seeking to achieve nonproliferation and wider foreign policy objectives on the peninsula.
*The monograph Engaging North Korea will be available for purchase at the event.
