Developments on the Korean peninsula have been driven forward by a succession of unexpected summits between North Korea and South Korea, China and the U.S. Moreover, President Trump has signaled his willingness to hold a second bilateral summit as well. Yet summits may or may not yield breakthroughs unless matched by more sustained diplomacy at lower levels. What would it take to get to a U.S.-DPRK nuclear or wider deal and is such a prospect even likely? Join us for a panel discussion to answer these questions.

Panelists:

• Ki-jung Kim, Yonsei University
• Jeffrey Lewis, Professor, Middlebury Institute of International Studies, Monterey
• Susan Shirk, Professor and Chair of the 21st Century China Center, GPS UC San Diego
• Stephan Haggard, Professor and Director of the Korea-Pacific Program, GPS UC San Diego (moderator)
