Smart Q&A
The Great Tragedy of North Korea's
Nuclear Weapons Development:
How It Went Wrong and What Needs to be Done

Joel Wit, Johns Hopkins Univ.

Mr. Joel Wit from the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, SAIS, points out how the U.S. "strategic patience" on North Korea has failed in terms of preventing North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile development. In the interest of more effective policy, Mr. Wit emphasizes the need for more proactive and aggressive diplomacy, including ways to make UN sanctions on North Korea more effective, induce greater Chinese cooperation, and prevent additional North Korean provocations by stronger military readiness.
