He establishes links between current developments and the paradigm shift in North Korea's inter-Korean policy. Prof. Frank also explained the deeper roots of the conflict, dating back to the Cold War, and commented on the persistent challenges within North Korea, including its centralized dictatorship, human rights abuses, and nuclear ambitions. He warns that recent escalations, influenced by external geopolitical interests, could destabilize the region further, drawing parallels to other global conflicts.
