Dr. Mel Gurtov, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at PSU, will give a lecture about the future of North Korea and its new leader.
Synopsis:
The sudden accession of Kim JongUn to the leadership of North Korea has led to all kinds of speculation about his ability to lead, the country's direction, and the prospects for an agreement with the US and South Korea on nuclear weapons. Will Kim JongUn be able to command support from the North Korea military? Can we expect more provocative behavior form the North? Is engagement with North Korea possible, or will the Cold War persist on the Korean peninsula?
Dr. Mel Gurtov is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Portland State University. He is the author of over 20 books on Asia, U.S. foreign policy, and other international subjects, and is Editor-in-Chief of Asian Perspective, an international quarterly published in Seoul.
