Overview
The United States and South Korea must renegotiate their nuclear cooperation agreement by 2012, and it is likely to serve as a model for similar agreements with other nations in the future. This is especially important because approximately thirteen nuclear cooperation agreements between the United States and other nations will need to be renegotiated in the next five years. South Korea would like the ability to reprocess its spent fuel, a process that makes weapons creation easier, but is likely to be seen as setting a precedent for other nations. In addition, U.S. agencies have different approaches to the agreement and are not coordinating their efforts. This grant would allow the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Korea Chair to bring together senior experts, scholars, policymakers, and opinion makers to address new developments, challenges, and opportunities that may arise during the negotiations and thereby develop a coordinated approach.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Energy Security and Climate Change Program
The Center for Strategic and International Studies is a policy research organization dedicated to advancing practical ideas to address the world’s greatest challenges. Achieving global energy transition requires reducing domestic emissions, while also incentivizing emissions reductions abroad. A clear vision for accomplishing this under different social and economic conditions is underdeveloped. This grant to the center’s Energy Security and Climate Change Program will support a cross-disciplinary research project to inform U.S. leadership in global decarbonization by increasing understanding of global trends and how U.S. public policy and trade strategies can influence international decarbonization. Working with a range of key stakeholders, including U.S. policymakers and diplomats, the private sector, academics, the press, and an advisory committee of leading academics and policy experts, this two-year effort will result in economic and policy studies, geopolitical research and analysis, conferencing, and educational products.
