Carriere will share latest developments with North Korea and how ordinary people can promote diplomacy and prevent nuclear disaster.  Carriere, research professor of political science and director of the Korean Peninsula Affairs Center in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, calls the situation between the US and N. Korea a “moving target”. He sees both the possibility of a significant deal, but also greater peril, as the mid-term election approaches and the “limited rational policy-solving ‘bandwidth’ of our political system is maximally strained”.

Sponsored by the Beyond War and Militarism Committee of the Syracuse Peace Council and CNY Solidarity Coalition.
