Building Momentum for CTR in North Korea
|
|
| Building Momentum for CTR in North Korea is a follow-on project to previous work done with CSIS and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) which culminated in the 2005 publication of the report “The Six Party Talks and Beyond: Cooperative Threat Reduction and North Korea.” One major conclusion from the previous study was that key potential participants of a North Korean threat reduction program had little or no knowledge of cooperative threat reduction. This new project will seek to use the practical CTR experience gained over the past 15 years in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other countries to launch a new joint effort. Its purpose will be to: 1) help inform key elites in China, South Korea and North Korea of existing CTR policy and practice; 2) build political support for CTR on the peninsula; 3) promote increased international contacts between important national technical communities likely to be involved in such programs; 4) provide intellectual support for devising specific CTR projects as appropriate; and 5) draw on regional experts to adapt CTR approaches to the special circumstances on the Korean peninsula. Jon Wolfsthal leads the project. |
