Merrill, chief of the Northeast Asia Division in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, is among the government's top analysts of North Korea, a nation named by President George W.

Merrill has advised several secretaries of state through negotiations with North Korea and has written many articles and several books on Korea. He has held teaching and research positions at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Georgetown University, George Washington University, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Lafayette College, Korea University and the University of Delaware.
