The report reaches the landmark conclusion that current trends will increasingly threaten the United States and its allies, in particular The Republic of Korea and Japan. The Task Force proposes new ideas to expand regional dialogue, restructure negotiations, protect the human rights of North Korea's citizens, strictly enforce new sanctions authority, and deter and defend against a regime that poses a steadily increasing threat.

Cover has slight wear and soiling. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), founded in 1921, is a United States nonprofit think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. It is headquartered in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C. Its membership, which numbers 4,900, has included senior politicians, more than a dozen secretaries of state, CIA directors, bankers, lawyers, professors, and senior media figures. The CFR meetings convene government officials, global business leaders and prominent members of the intelligence and foreign-policy community to discuss international issues. CFR publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs, and runs the David Rockefeller Studies Program, which influences foreign policy by making recommendations to the presidential administration and diplomatic community, testifying before Congress, interacting with the media, and publishing on foreign policy issues. This Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Independent Task Force report, A Sharper Choice on North Korea: Engaging China for a Stable Northeast Asia, finds that the United States' policy of "strategic patience" with North Korea will neither halt that country's recurring and dangerous cycle of provocation nor ensure the stability of Northeast Asia in the future. To the contrary, the Task Force warns, "If allowed to continue, current trends will predictably, progressively, and gravely threaten U.S. national security interests and those of its allies." Chaired by Mike Mullen, retired admiral and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Sam Nunn, former U.S. senator and co-chairman and chief executive officer of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the Task Force finds that "North Korea's accelerating nuclear and missile programs pose a grave and expanding threat to the territory of U.S. allies, to U.S. personnel stationed in the region, and to the continental United States." Without a shift in strategy, the group concludes, the next U.S. president may be confronted by a North Korea that has the ability to strike the U.S. homeland. Asserting that "China's policy toward the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] will critically affect the fate of the region," the Task Force urges U.S. officials to encourage China to work with the United States, Japan and South Korea to establish a nonnuclear and unified Korean Peninsula. "Encouraging a transformation of China's policy toward North Korea should be the next administration's top priority in its relations with China," says the report. "If China, the United States, and U.S. allies can work together to pressure North Korea to abandon its nuclear program and mitigate its threatening military posture," the Task Force contends, "a stable, prosperous Northeast Asia led by China and U.S. allies can emerge." To the extent that China declines to cooperate and North Korea continues to refuse to negotiate, however, the report finds that United States will have no choice but to work with Japan and Korea to "consider more assertive military and political actions, including those that directly threaten the existence of the [North Korean] regime and its nuclear and missile capabilities." The Task Force proposes that the United States take steps to sharpen the consequences for North Korea, by imposing escalating costs on continued defiance and offering incentives for cooperation. The report offers the following recommendations for U.S. policymakers: Promote a stable and prosperous Northeast Asia. Enlist China's help and work with regional partners to jointly plan for the future of the Korean Peninsula, including planning for militarized crises, collapse scenarios, and the role of a unified Korea in Northeast Asian security. Restructure negotiations. Propose restructured negotiations that would increase incentives for North Korea's cooperation by covering a wider.

This is a Report of the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, CSIS has made this available for downloading from on-line. Consequently relatively few copies were produced in hard copy form. The contents include and Introduction and five essays: Off-Ramps as a Tool of U.S.-China Escalation Management ( Mike Albertson); It Could Always Get Worse: Managing Escalation Risks with China (Matthew R. Costlow); No Nuclear Substitute for Conventional Denial (Adam Mount); Overestimating Prospects for Escalation Management (Kori Schake); and "Today is not the day": How the United States' Allies Contribute to U.S. Strategic Advantage in Deterrence and Escalation Management (Rebecca Shrimpton). To generate new thinking on the risks of escalation with China, the Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) made escalation management in the Indo-Pacific the focus of its 2025 Project Atom series. The contributors each authored 5,0006,000-word strategies using a shared analytic framework that addresses four specific topics: stakes and strategic objectives, escalation risks, military tools for escalation management, and diplomatic tools for escalation management. The strategies demonstrate agreement on key issues, including U.S. and Chinese objectives and the importance of deterrence. They also highlight important areas of disagreement, including the utility of nuclear weapons for deterrence and escalation management. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world's greatest challenges. Thomas J. Pritzker was named chairman of the CSIS Board of Trustees in 2015, succeeding former U.S. senator Sam Nunn (D-GA). Founded in 1962, CSIS is led by John J. Hamre, who has served as president and chief executive officer since 2000. Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) was founded in 2003. PONI is the premier networked community of next generation professionals prepared to meet the nuclear challenges of the future. PONI programs provide creative opportunities for emerging experts from a wide range of backgrounds to learn about nuclear issues and engage thoughtfully with the nuclear community. PONI also conducts cutting-edge research and analysis on three main topic areas: deterrence and escalation, risk reduction and arms control, and disarmament.
