The Tricky Path to North Korea
Nikolas K. Gvosdev, editor of The National Interest, provides insight into the difficulties that the United States faces in gaining consensus on how to address the North Korean threat.
On October 24, 2006, the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, in its
editorial page, described Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's four-country
tour of Asia in the aftermath of the North Korean nuclear detonation as
"unsuccessful."
In this talk, given at the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International
Affairs on October 26, editor of The National Interest Nikolas K. Gvosdev
outlines the difficulties Washington faces in forging a meaningful consensus
among the major powers of Northeast Asia in dealing with a North Korean
threat that is perceived quite differently in Washington, Tokyo, Seoul,
Beijing and Moscow.
