To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
The Sept. 19 Six-Party statement of principles marked the end of the beginning of the North Korean nuclear crisis. At the 5th round of talks scheduled for November, each party's attention will shift to how and when the respective principles and goals agreed to in the 4th round will be implemented.
Among these potential "deal-breaker" questions, a critical one will be how dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear weapons programs will be verified. In this seminar, previous inspection regime models that may be applicable to the current crisis will be examined.
