Competitively selected to spend two weeks in South Korea exploring the various dimensions of inter-Korean relations, furthering my understanding of international diplomacy and development patterns. Led by the Clements Center for National Security, we spent time in Seoul, Busan, and Hiroshima. Activities included dinner with the former national security adviser, visits to top Korean think tanks, and a Q&A with a North Korean defector.
