Denuclearization or Deterrence? Evaluating Next Steps on North Korea

Tue. June 12th, 2018
Washington, DC

Negotiations to dismantle North Korea’s nuclear program remain highly uncertain. While diplomacy plays out, the United States and its allies in Asia will continue strengthening their deterrence capabilities to hedge against future threatening North Korean behavior. Yet, these actions could further exacerbate tensions in East Asia. 

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosted an expert panel discussion on denuclearization diplomacy, the Trump-Kim summit, and Plan B options to deter North Korean coercive behavior. At the event, Carnegie released a new report, “Security Spillover: Regional Implications of Evolving Deterrence on the Korean Peninsula.”
