Game Theory of Nuclear Deproliferation

This past summer, North Korea claimed to successfully have tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), drawing attention from all around the world. Already, Kim Jong Un has tested more missiles than his father and grandfather combined. Besides North Korea, unsanctioned nuclear activity continues in various other countries around the world. This event invited North Korea expert Professor Bruce Cumings and Nobel Prize Winner Professor Roger Myerson to discuss the game theory behind such actions of nuclear proliferation and deproliferation. This event was supported by the University of Chicago's Nuclear Reactions series of programs commemorating the 75th anniversary of the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.
