The North Korea That Can Say No

February 11, 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies

The Center for Korean Studies is pleased to present its 7th Forum on Critical Issues in Korean Studies. The Forum will feature an address titled "The North Korea That Can Say No" by Bruce Cumings, Swift Distinguished Service Professor in History at the University of Chicago. In his talk, Cumings will seek to explain how North Korea interacts with the world and why its relations with both enemies and allies share a similarity: North Korea won't do what you want it to do. Its leaders play an apparently short and weak hand very effectively against much more powerful countries, above all the United States. The Forum on Critical Issues on Korean Studies annually brings outstanding scholars to the Mānoa campus for discussions of important contemporary topics related to Korea.
