Dear Friend:

We are pleased to share with you that Bruce Bennett will address the Virtual ICAS Fall Symposium Lux with a special emphasis on "Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction: The North Korea Case" on October 5, 2021 EDT, Washington DC.

Dr Bennett, ICAS Fellow, is an Adjunct International/Defense Researcher at The RAND Corporation. He is an expert in Northeast Asian security issues, having visited the region about 120 times and written much about Korean security. Bruce's research addresses issues such as the North Korean military threats, negotiating North Korean nuclear dismantlement, future ROK military force requirements, Korean unification, the Korean military balance, and potential Chinese military intervention in North Korea. He specializes in “asymmetric threats” such as weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and how to counter those threats with new strategies, operational concepts, and technologies. Bruce has facilitated a large number of seminar/war games to address these issues.

Bruce received a PhD in policy analysis from the Pardee RAND Graduate School and a BS in economics from the California Institute of Technology.

Thank you.
