Preface and Acknowledgments

HEADER PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is the final report of a 2018 policy workshop, the capstone project of the Master in Public Affairs program at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Under the direction of Drs. Leon Sigal and Frank von Hippel, 10 graduate students spent several months researching U.S.-North Korea nuclear negotiations and regional dynamics to present U.S. policymakers with recommendations about managing the U.S.-North Korea relationship as it enters a new phase. They consulted current and former officials and scholars in China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

All authors participated in the preparation of this report. As a collaborative project, the report does not represent the views of Princeton University, Drs. von Hippel and Sigal, anyone interviewed for this workshop, or any individual student.

We would like to thank Dean Cecilia E. Rouse, Associate Dean Karen McGuinness, Associate Director of Finance and Administration Jeffrey Oakman, and everyone at the Woodrow Wilson School who helped make this workshop possible. We would also like to thank the many who shared their expertise and opinions with us in Beijing, Seoul, and Tokyo.
