Includes Foreword, Acknowledgments, Acronyms, Color Map of North Korea and Select Missile Test Locations, Additional and Dissenting Views, Endnotes, Task Force Members, and Task Force Observers. Highlighting noted on page 5. 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. Michael Glenn Mullen, AO, MSC (born October 4, 1946) is a retired United States Navy admiral, who served as the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2011.

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.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. xiii, [1], 208 pages. This book examines the NTI-Kazatomprom project and its significance for resucing nuclear dangers. It includes speeches from the symposium, a detailed history of the project and related news articles. The book also explains the history and related circumstances that influenced Kazakhstan's ultimate decision to abandon its nuclear program. The joint NTI-Kazatomprom project aimed to permanently eliminate nuclear fuel containing 2,900 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (HEU). This material, if it had fallen into the wrong hands, could have been used to make up to two dozen nuclear bombs. Instead, the material is being blended down to safe, non-weapons usable forms of uranium for use in commercial and scientific activities. This project was carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Kazakhstan, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). DOE is supporting Kazakhstan in decommissioning the BN-350 reactor, which required elimination of all fissile material from the reactor site. The project involved several steps: Nuclear workers in Aktau loaded onto rail cars fresh HEU fuel assemblies designed, but never used, for the BN-350 reactor. The fuel assemblies were transported to the Ulba Metallurgical Plant (UMP) in Ust-Kamenogorsk, where security upgrades had been installed to permit HEU storage. A blend-down line and additional security upgrades to allow HEU processing were designed, licensed and installed at UMP to carry out the operations. Costs of the project, approximately $2 million, were shared equally between NTI and Kazatomprom. The IAEA applied safeguards during transport, commissioning, and downblending. The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) is a non-profit organization working to reduce the global threats from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Governed by an international Board of Directors with members from ten countries, NTI is working to reduce the spread and risk of use of weapons of mass destruction around the globe.

Cook and US Senator fom Georgia, Sam Nunn ; Label by Mercer University Press acknowledging the support of The Watson-Brown Foundation on the half-title ; Contents: A Dream Fulfilled -- A Narrow Victory -- The Not So-Roaring 1920s -- Father of the Two-Ocean Navy --Preparing for War -- The War Years -- Post War Conflicts -- Getting the Ox out of the Ditch -- The EisenhOwer Years -- The Kennedy Years -- Retirement -- The Last Years -- Sources Cited ; "Carl Vinson, Georgia Congressman, was one of the most important and influential individuals in naval affairs. He not only mastered the traditions, processes, and rules of the House of Representatives where he served for a half century, but also acquired a vast and detailed knowledge of naval matters (and later the armed services in general) and displayed consummate skill in drafting and managing legislation designed to modernize and strengthen the Navy in particular and the armed forces and national defense in general." "Known as the "Georgia Swamp Fox" or "the Admiral," Vinson was an astute and crafty tactician in the political arena with an incredibly acute sense of timing, who knew how to play pork barrel politics and knew when and how to compromise. For most of his tenure in Congress he was either the chairman or the ranking minority member of the Naval Affairs/Armed Services Committee. In time, he came to wield enormous power in shaping naval and military policies. In many respects, he was the principal architect of the nation's modern defense system." "Organized chronologically and written in prose, this work is based upon research in both primary and secondary sources. This study is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that Vinson did not write an autobiography, keep a diary, or preserve his personal papers. This biography of Carl Vinson is also the story of America and the South in a time of transition and change."--Jacket ; Dr. James F. Cook was born in Balboa, Panama Canal Zone on December 3, 1940. He grew up and attended the public schools in Washington, D.C. He earned an A.A. at Young Harris College in 1960, a B.A. at Emory University in 1962, an M.A. at Georgia State University in 1964 (the first one awarded in the field of history), and a Ph.D. at the University of Georgia in 1972. He taught history at Georgia State University for four years until 1970 when he became one of the original faculty members at Floyd Junior College. Dr. Cook taught history at Floyd (now Georgia Highlands College) for 30 years, until retiring in 2000. A rarity in academia today, Dr. Cook was a conservative who had great respect for America's Founding Fathers and founding documents. An advocate of learning through travel, he spent six weeks in India on a Fulbright-Hays grant in 1985 and led 13 bus study-tours of Washington, Gettysburg and Williamsburg as well as 17 tours of Europe. A life-time student of Georgia's political history, Dr. Cook published numerous articles and four books: Governors of Georgia, a biography of Gov. Carl Sanders, a biography of Rep. Carl Vinson, and a history of Floyd College entitled We Fly By Night. In later years, he published dozens of op-eds on historical and political subjects in the Rome News-Tribune. ; Samuel Augustus Nunn Jr. is an American politician who served as a United States Senator from Georgia (1972-1997) as a member of the Democratic Party. In the Senate, Nunn was involved in the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, which aims to dismantle weapons of mass destruction, originally in the former Soviet Union. Nunn was also involved in the Goldwater-Nichols Act, which reformed the Department of Defense. ; FINE/FINE. Signed by Author(s). Book.

Photograph. Zustand: Fine. Presidential briefing on Operation Uphold Democracy at the White House on September 19, 1994, photograph signed by former President Jimmy Carter, Senator Sam Nunn, General Colin Powell and President Bill Clinton. (illustrator). Signed Photograph. This color photograph was taken by White House photographer Bob McNeely in the White House Residence Treaty Room, during a "working breakfast meeting" on the situation in Haiti. Also in attendance at the meeting were President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Vice President Al Gore, Tony Lake and Leon Panetta. This meeting was followed by a press conference the same day. Photograph is signed in the border along the bottom and measures 8" x 10". A fine piece, capturing an important diplomatic victory for the Clinton Administration and former President Jimmy Carter. Operation Uphold Democracy was in response to the 1991 Haitian coup d'état, where the democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was deposed by Army General Raoul Cédras. In 1994, a delegation led by former President Jimmy Carter, along with Senator Sam Nunn and General Colin Powell, urged Provisional President Émile Jonassaint and General Cédras to relinquish control or face an invasion by the 82nd Airborne Division. President Aristide returned to power in October 1994, with a UN peacekeeping force remaining in Haiti until 2000.
