In the midst of preparing for the upcoming Inter-Korea Summit in June, the South Korean government and many North Korea experts struggle with how to manage this historic opportunity for breakthrough in the Korean peninsula. What happened behind closed doors to reach this agreement to have the summit meeting and what uncertainties lie along the way? What issues will be discussed at the summit? What will some of the challenges be in the post-summit era, not only in inter-Korean relations but in neighboring countries' policies toward the Korean peninsula? These questions and more will be discussed during this seminar. Dr. Kil has worked for the last four years in the Washington bureau of the Korean newspaper, Joong Ang Ilbo, closely monitoring the U.S.-North Korea talks. He is currently on leave for research at the Tokyo Foundation. Dr. Kil has a Ph.D. in political science from Yale University.
