NUCLEAR DIPLOMACY:
IS IT POSSIBLE TO END THE U.S.-NORTH KOREAN CONFRONTATION?

a panel discussion with

CHRISTOPHER NELSON
Senior Vice President, Samuels International Associates, Inc.

and

JASON SHAPLEN
Senior Executive and Director, Next Step Program at Project Renewal

Moderated by

JIM NOLT
WPI Senior Fellow

U.S. policy toward North Korea, which President Bush included in his so-called "Axis of Evil" nations, remains uncertain and often befuddled. North Korea admits to having a nuclear weapons program (apparently assisted by Pakistan), perhaps in an effort to leverage more foreign aid to its moribund economy. But the Bush Administration seems divided between hardliners and pragmatists on what to do in response. Negotiations have proceeded by fits and starts with little apparent progress. Is either side truly interested in a negotiated end to North Korea's nuclear program? What objectives do they seek? Why is progress seemingly so painful and difficult?
