Stephen Bosworth was appointed by Hillary Clinton as U.S. Representative for North Korea Policy. He is one of America's best diplomats who served in several postings overseas before becoming Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts. Prof. Drezner points to the work done by Bosworth in keeping dialogue with North Korea alive, till a solution can be found. He also cites Chinese analysts who say pressuring China comes from a worn playbook, that China would not agree to reunification on the Korean peninsula, to bring U.S. influence right up to its borders. South Koreans have been wary of reunification because of the decade long experience of integrating East Germany. As a result new solutions need to be found and the valuable work of diplomats like Bosworth is badly needed to keep dialogue alive for a solution to be found.

Stephen Bosworth, U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy, and the need for a new policy with North Korea in 2016-2017

01/06/2016

Stephen Bosworth was appointed by Hillary Clinton as U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy. He was one of the State Department's best diplomats, and after several postings overseas was Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy of Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts. Here Prof. Drezner describes the policies that have not worked with North Korea of pressuring China on the DPRK and its nuclear weapons tesing. Drezner cites Chinese analysts who say that China does not want to see Korean unification because it would bring U.S. influence to its borders. South Korea plans to resume anti-DPRK broadcasts in 2016 in response to nuclear tests. The fact remains that South Koreans and Chinese both see the problems of renunification and have not taken serious steps- the South wary of the situation similiar to that of integration of Communist East Germany which took over a decade. Drezner credits diplomats of the reputation of Bosworth to keep dialogue alive with North Korea till a solution can be found, as pressuring China appears to have become a worn playbook.
