YLPSG’s 2015 Q4 Meetup Session Where do things stand with North Korea? We will have two speakers out from the Pacific Forum CSIS office in Honolulu. David Santoro (L) is a Senior Fellow for Nuclear Policy and John Warden (R) is a Senior Fellow in National Security Policy. What is to be made of the increased activity around the Yongbyon nuclear site? How well is North Korea deterred in light of Pyongyang hinting that it could launch long-range missiles to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Workers Party? How would the region deal with a collapse of North Korea? Please join us as we discuss these issues and broader concerns related to the Korean Peninsula. Both John and David will be in Singapore to take part in the Annual Meeting of the Nuclear Energy Experts Group as part of the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific. David specializes in strategic issues, including non-proliferation and nuclear security. Prior to Pacific Forum he was a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. John works on regional security issues including U.S. alliances, extended deterrence, and non-proliferation. He has previously worked with CSIS in Washington DC as part of the Project on Nuclear Issues.
