Lecture--Asia Over Lunch Lecture Series: Peace Dividend and Regional Stability in the Korean Peninsula: Focusing on the South-North Korea Cooperation Fund Allocation
12:00 p.m.- 1:00 p.m.
4130 Posvar Hall

A presentation by Bok-gyo Jonathan Jeong, PhD Student, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Jeong will discuss the possibility of a peace dividend concept in the Korean Peninsula with an attempt to establish a Northeast Asia security community. Starting with an examination of the background of the peace dividend concept and the situation in Northeast Asia compared to those on the global level, he asserts that this concept can be leveraged as tools for facilitating change in regard to dynamism among the government, nongovernmental organizations, and private companies in the three domain models. He will employ the South-North Korea Cooperation Fund as a proxy data that demonstrates the two approaches based on the peace dividend��'mobilization of civil society and market. Join us every Thursday for a weekly discussion about Asia-related topics, and we invite you to bring your lunch!
