North Korea: Special Edition of Global Crisis Watch

gcw-logo.jpgNorth Korea has detonated its first nuclear device, sending the international community into a crisis over how to respond. The debate over possible sanctions and even a blockade has begun in the United Nations. There are questions about whether the test was successful or not due to the yield of the explosion, but regardless the Hermit Kingdom has entered the nuclear club. Japan has detected signs of a second detonation, however South Korea and the United States have denied this. All the while, Iran is watching the actions of the international community, probing for weaknesses as it developes an Iranian bomb.

Global Crisis Watch convenes a roundtable discussion on North Korea and the next possible steps with Rohan Gunaratna, Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies and author of “Inside al Qaeda”, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, counterterrorism consultant and author of "My Year Inside Radical Islam," and Josh Manchester, Marine Reserve Officer and author of The Adventures of Chester.
