North Korea's policy-making is an ambiguous and shady domain. Little information on the domestic reality of the country filters to the outside world, but the impacts of Pyongyang's foreign policy on regional - and global - security need to be uncovered. In early 2024, North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, announced that the objective of "reunification" with South Korea is no longer considered possible. More than 70 years after the end of the Korean war in 1953, which formally divided the two states, a significant shift in the North's policies towards the South could have a wider meaning for the region. In this episode, Samuel Pearson and Siddesh Shimpukade join Arnold Koch to provide us with a deeper understanding of the hidden nuances of the Korean peninsula's security dynamics, with an eye to the potential threats of tomorrow.
