DESCRIPTION:After the chills and thrills of the Trump era\, the future of d
 iplomatic engagement with North Korea is uncertain. While the Biden admini
 stration returns to a more traditional diplomatic approach\, tensions cont
 inue to rise on the Korean Peninsula. Whether or not official US-DPRK talk
 s (“Track One” diplomacy) can resume in this political climate is unclear.
  However\, in the past\, when official engagement was lacking\, active dip
 lomatic engagement at the Track Two or non-governmental level helped facil
 itate dialogue about the future of US-DPRK relations. Now that North Korea
  is preparing to ease its self-imposed\, pandemic-related isolation\, can 
 Track Two engagement play a role in mitigating the disastrous\, high profi
 le diplomatic failures of 2018-19? Getting back into the Track Two ‘groove
 ’ will require new thinking about how to go about relationship-building wi
 th North Korea. This program will explore ways to make an effective transi
 tion from purely coercive to cooperative engagement by re-imagining Track 
 Two diplomacy.Panelists:Siegfried S. HeckerStanford UniversityJenny TownSt
