In this Earth Day special, KBOO host 'One Awareness' examines the Korean Dilemma—a decades-long standoff where the refusal to denuclearize has led to recurring cycles of famine, failed diplomacy, and missed chances for environmental and economic cooperation.
From the 1994 Agreed Framework under Clinton, through Bush Jr.'s incentive-based approach in 2000s into the modern parallels found in both Trump and Biden-era negotiations, the story remains strikingly similar: hunger persists, no share farming with South Korean businesses.
While peace is postponed until Denuclearization happens. This episode explores what might have happened if ecological and humanitarian diplomacy of the Clinton initiatives could have been a good linear diplomacy aid for North Korea.
