Recognized globally for his efforts in the pursuit of peace, Dr. Han Park has been a celebrated faculty member at the University of Georgia for nearly half a century. His insight as a global negotiator presents us with an invitation to rethink our idea of what peace looks like. Dr. Han S. Park is University Professor of Political Science and the founding Director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues at the University of Georgia. Having been raised in the war-torn areas of China and Korea, Dr. Park has developed a life-long commitment to peace studies. He was awarded the Gandhi-King-Ikeda Community Builder’s Prize (2010) for his peace building efforts around the world. Park’s writings reflect this principle: Development as the Crossroads (2015), North Korea Demystified (2012), North Korea: The Politics of Unconventional Wisdom (2002). Park has visited North Korea some 50 times since the eruption of the nuclear crisis in early 1990s to facilitate dialogue and mediate differences between Pyongyang and the rest of the world. These efforts continue to facilitate an ongoing series of “Track-II” international seminars that have contributed to expanding the network for dialogue and adverting military confrontation on the Korean peninsula and beyond. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
