On Friday, June 12, at 4:30 p.m. ET, join the Indo-Pacific Security Initiative (IPSI) of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security for the launch of Nonresident Senior Fellow Jieun Baek’s latest book, Privileged but Powerless.
Baek’s second book on North Korea draws on hundreds of hours of rigorous fieldwork and interviews with defectors to examine a surprising yet critical vector of regime instability. In a fireside chat, Baek will discuss how North Korea’s system of privilege and control shapes elite insecurity at the highest levels of the regime. Following the discussion, guests are invited to continue the conversation during the reception.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time.
