Mitch Lerner to Speak at Columbus Council on World Affairs: "Korea, the United States and East Asia"
Mitch Lerner, associate professor of history and director of the Institute of Korean Studies at Ohio State, is to speak on “Korea, the United States, and East Asia” for an upcoming presentation at the Columbus Council on World Affairs. This program will be held on Wednesday, October 2 from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Sheraton Columbus Hotel at Capitol Square. His presentation will explore current economic and political trends in U.S.-Korea relations, including the influence of China on the East Asia region. Sixty years after the end of the Korean War, U.S. -South Korea relations remain close. South Korea is the seventh largest goods trading partner for the United States. In 2007, the countries signed a bilateral trade agreement, paving the way for an anticipated increase in Unite States exports of $10 billion annually. The United States and South Korea also collaborate on issues of national security, particularly with regards to the threat posed by North Korea. American military troops on the Korean Peninsula number around 28,500. Lerner received his B.A. from Brandeis University and his PhD from the University of Texas-Austin, and came to Ohio State in 2000. His first book, The Pueblo Incident: A Spy Ship and the Failure of American Foreign Policy (2002), won the 2002 John Lyman Book Award, and he was also nominated for the Pulitzer and Bancroft Prizes. Currently, he serves on the advisory board of the North Korea International Documentation Project. Register to attend this presentation with the Columbus Council on World Affairs.
