For this Extra Inning from the US Centre’s Ballpark podcast, host Chris Gilson speaks to North Korea expert Professor Stephan Haggard about the upcoming summit between the US and North Korea. We explore what’s at stake and what the summit may be able to achieve.

In 2019, he is the Susan Strange Professor in the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
