DESCRIPTION:Science Engagement with North Korea Stuart Thorson is professor
  of international relations and political science and is the Donald P. and
  Margaret Curry Gregg Professor at the Maxwell School of Syracuse Universi
 ty. Thorson has co-edited two books on conflict resolution and over 40 art
 icles and book chapters. His current research interests are the uses of in
 formation technology in support of governance and the role of science in d
 iplomacy. Thorson directs the Maxwell Schoolʼs integrated information tech
 nology research collaboration with Kim Chaek University of Technology (Dem
 ocratic Peopleʼs Republic of Korea) and is co-director of Syracuse Univers
 ityʼs Regional Scholars and Leaders Seminar initiative. He is a founding m
 ember of the National Committee on North Korea (U.S.)\, a co-founder of th
 e U.S. - DPRK Science Engagement Consortium\, and a board member of The Ko
 rea Society. The US has many assets such as popular culture and human exch
 anges that can be used to attract\, rather than coerce\, other countries t
 o join in cooperative ventures. There is growing evidence suggesting that 
 science engagement is another source of such power. Science engagement has
  played a significant role in many diplomatic success stories. The resulti
 ng attractive\, or soft\, power is a valuable diplomatic and commercial to
 ol that can reduce reliance on more expensive coercive power. In this pres
 entation Dr. Thorson will provide an overview of U.S. academic initiatives
  aimed at science collaboration with North Korea with a special focus on r
 ecent and upcoming activities of the US-DRPK Science Engagement Consortium
 . Refreshments will be served.
