38] – On Wed., Nov. 10 at 3 PM ET, catch Pathways to Nuclear War with North Korea: The Risks of Catastrophe in 2017 and Today by Van Jackson. How dangerous was the 2017 nuclear crisis with North Korea? How did it come about? How did the crisis end without war? And what are the chances of reliving a crisis of that magnitude on the Korean Peninsula? This talk, based on the book On the Brink: Trump, Kim, and the Threat of Nuclear War, will reveal the pathways to war in 2017, why summit diplomacy ultimately failed, and the prospects of it all happening again. It will argue that while the personalized insults and caprice of the 2017 crisis made the Korean Peninsula uniquely combustible, the structure that made nuclear war possible in the first place is even more pressurized today than in 2017. The sponsor is the Syracuse University Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs. Register at https://syracuseuniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMkcOCpqD8oH9bsDwIJgCaO6VVI8MI3tdxo.
