About this Event
For more a century, Northeast Asia has been one of the world’s most dangerous places, where wars have repeatedly broken out between Japan, Russia, the United States, the two Koreas, and several regimes in China. What, then, should we expect from Biden’s successor coming into office in 2025?
Join Oxford International Relations Society for fascinating panel discussion featuring John Everard, the UK’s ambassador to North Korea from 2006 to 2008, Dr Edward Howell (Oxford), and Prof John Nilsson-Wright (Cambridge) focusing on tensions and crises in Northeast Asia after the 2024 US Presidential Election. Will the “hermit kingdom” of North Korea intensify its delinquent nuclear behavior? How will US regional allies such as South Korea and Japan deal challanges posed by increasingly assertive authoritarian states West of the Sea of Japan? Finally, how do human rights abuses fit into the picture?
