The expanded North Korea sanctions unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council in March this year amount to some of the toughest against the country in two decades. Within weeks, the United States issued new North Korea sanctions, following its illicit nuclear test and satellite launch. Do sanctions against North Korea work and, if not, why not? What, if any, unintended consequences -positive or negative - do sanctions against North Korea generate? What can be done to improve the effectiveness of these and other sanctions? Dr. John Park, an expert on North Korea, assesses the use of sanctions against the country, especially as they relate to Pyongyang’s ongoing nuclear and missile programs, as well as key policy recommendations for the US and China.
John Park is Adjunct Lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School and Researcher at MIT. He was the Stanton Junior Faculty Fellow in Nuclear Security at MIT in 2012-2013, during which he examined key unintended consequences of applying US financial sanctions on North Korea. Dr. Park previously directed a project on preparing for sudden instability in North Korea at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Northeast Asia Track 1.5 projects at the United States Institute of Peace. He advises Northeast Asia policy-focused officials at the Departments of Defense and State as well as the Treasury, and on the National Security Council and Congressional committees. Dr. Park received his MPhil and PhD from Cambridge University, and completed his pre- and post-doctoral training at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center.
