Background
UCSD Professor Susan Shirk, NEACD’s founder; Robert Einhorn, former
chief of the State Department’s Bureau of Non-Proliferation; SFRC Minority
Staff Director Frank Jannuzi; and Mark Mohr of the Department of Energy
shared insights gleaned from recent meetings of the Northeast Asia Cooperation
Dialogue (NEACD) with a crowd of about 60 policymakers, embassy and U.S.
government
officials, scholars, and students at an IGCC
policy seminar cosponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Non-Proliferation
Policy. NEACD
held its fifteenth session 5–6 April 2004 in La Jolla, California.
A bilateral dialogue between the United States and Democratic People's
Republic of Korea followed immediately on 7–8 April.
The NEACD is a track two, or unofficial, forum
in which government officials, military officers, and academics from the
United States, China, Japan, Russia, the Republic of Korea, and the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea discuss regional security issues. Officials
participate in NEACD in a private capacity and not as government representatives,
and
the informality of the discussions is conducive to candor and the exploration
of new ideas.
The NEACD project is supported by the Department of Energy.
