CURRENT WORK
The Future of Multilateral Architecture in Asia

This project addresses the question of what multilateral architecture optimally serves the interests of the regional players. It assesses various existing and proposed architectures in terms of efficiency gains, transparency, and effectiveness and argues that a “hybrid” solution involving bilateral and plurilateral groupings is emerging in Asia.


Korea After Unification: Planning for the Inevitable

This book is the culmination of a three-year grant to study the priorities and challenges associated with Korean unification. The book is contracted with Columbia University Press and builds on the highly successful collaboration with David Kang in Nuclear North Korea.
