Over the last ten months tensions on the Peninsula have risen to alarming heights, as the regime in Pyongyang makes rapid advancements in its nuclear and missile programs. Kim Jong Un has threatened to conduct destabilizing launches near US territory and Guam in addition to the first atmospheric nuclear test since 1980. At the same time, North Korea has resisted economic and military pressure designed to coerce them to denuclearize and is refusing to negotiate the issue. Preventing these destabilizing actions and avoiding war will require a new dedication to the hard work of containing, deterring, and negotiating with an increasingly capable regime over the long run.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 800px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1131 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2.jpg\" alt=\"picture of seminar at the walker ames room\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2-530x353.jpg 530w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2017\/12\/1-uw-seminar2-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Audience during the Q&amp;A Session<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOV. 29th, 2017, KANE HALL WALKER-AMES ROOM, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON The 4th Annual Korean Peninsula Forum, hosted by the UW Center for Korea Studies, featured special guest Adam Mount, a Senior Fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, whose work covers U.S. nuclear strategy and force structure, global nuclear politics, deterrence, and North Korea.
