Avoiding War With North Korea
Nicholas Kristof, Jean Lee, Yasuhide Nakayama, John Park, Bill Richardson
Moderated by Nicholas Kristof at the Milken Conference, experts Jean Lee, Yasuhide Nakayama, John Park, and Governor Bill Richardson analyzed the shifting geopolitical landscape of the Korean Peninsula following the Panmunjom Declaration. While Park and Richardson acknowledged tangible momentum such as the dismantling of the Punggye-ri test facility, Lee and Richardson warned that full denuclearization by 2021 remains unlikely due to Kim Jong-un's strategic use of nuclear capabilities for regime survival and internal legitimacy. The panel ultimately characterized the current diplomatic efforts as a fragile "action-for-action" process where South Korea and Japan face risks of marginalization, with prospects for a permanent freeze on nuclear programs rather than immediate total disarmament.

Panelists Karen Brooks, Curtis Chin, Evan Medeiros, and Yasuhide Nakayama analyzed the shifting Asia-Pacific security landscape, highlighting China's growing economic coercion and military expansion alongside North Korea's escalating missile threats. While the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership created policy discontinuity under the Trump administration, Japan under Prime Minister Abe successfully led the TPP-11 initiative to maintain high-standard trade rules. Concurrently, Southeast Asian nations like Indonesia and the Philippines are pursuing infrastructure-led growth and diversifying partnerships to mitigate over-reliance on Beijing and navigate rising non-tariff barriers.

Global Risk
Wesley Clark, Lindsey Graham, Tony Blair, Yasuhide Nakayama
General Wesley Clark, Senator Lindsey Graham, Tony Blair, and Yasuhide Nakayama convened to address escalating global threats including Middle East extremism, Russian aggression in Ukraine, and China's strategic rise in Asia. While Graham confirmed his high probability of seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, the panelists reached a consensus on the urgent need for robust military preparedness, the rejection of negotiation with terrorist entities, and a transition to American energy independence to counter authoritarian leverage. The discussion concluded with dire warnings regarding systemic financial instability and climate change, urging immediate diplomatic and economic reforms to preserve international security.
