Must Reads From the Marmot’s Hole
An extremely kind (and apparently well-read) reader sent over some MUST READ links that I give you below. Be sure to read them ALL.
Read through the latest edition of the The Korean Journal of Defense Analysis, published by the Defense Ministry-funded Korea Institute for Defense Analyses (KIDA). Featured in this month’s edition are pieces by Marcus Noland, Nicholas Eberstadt and a load of other folk who know a lot more than I do. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the link.
Speaking of Nick Eberstadt, check out his essay on North Korea’s weapons quest over at the now non-Korea Foundation-funded AEI .
And while your over at AEI, Dr. Norbert Vollertsen contributed a piece on the “depraved society we can’t ignore” in the June-July edition of American Enterprise. Nicholas Eberstadt, James R. Lilley, Daniel Kennelly, Gordon Cucullu and Victor Davis Hanson also ran a piece in the magazine on the North Korean nuclear issue that, given the names involved, I might consider selling my left nut to get a hold of.
Be sure to check out “A Cold Peace: The Changing Security Equation in Northeast Asia,” (.pdf) by the Brookings Institute’s Tomohiko Taniguchi.
