Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies’ Military Professor Col. James M. Minnich recently published an article entitled "North Korea Solution, Changed Regime" in Military Review. Here's an excerpt from the article: An effective changed-regime policy would quickly undertake a series of actions that should eventually align North Korean interests with those of the United States, bringing the entire Korean Peninsula into Washington’s security sphere. At present, Washington’s interests are not Pyongyang’s interests, which is why a changed-regime policy is needed to effect persistent change. America’s chief interest is for Pyongyang to abolish its nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons program. [...]

DKI APCSS Professor Recommends how to Discuss Maritime Freedom Effectively

By |2018-10-19T16:24:39-10:00December 21st, 2017|Categories: Faculty, College, Faculty Articles, Independent Faculty Articles, External Publications, Odom|

What can be done to reduce this risk? Professor Jonathan G. Odom, a military professor at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies, has a published a new article in the Ocean Development and International Law Journal, entitled “Navigating Between Treaties and Tweets: How to Ensure Discourse about Maritime Freedom [...]
