Design credits for Global Agenda 2004


Many Americans view the world in terms of "friends" and "enemies," with few shades of intention between those extremes. Particularly in the wake of two U.S. wars initiated after the terror attacks of 2001, other nations, religions and people have been cast into these two broad categories.Global Agenda 2004 surveys an "Enemies List" of threats to the United States which have more complex implications than is apparent on the surface. Students and the public will explore the dangers posed by weapons and computer threats, by nations such as North Korea, by religion-based movements in the Middle East, and by nations whose periodic disagreements with the U.S. sometimes thrust them into the role of "enemies."
John Merrill heads the Northeast Asia division of the U.S. State Department's "mini-CIA," the Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He's considered among the U.S. government's top analysts of North Korea, a nation President Bush included in his "axis of evil." North Korea is believed to have developed nuclear weapons, and to have shared weapons technology with other nations. Merrill has advised several Secretaries of State through negotiations with the Pyongyang government, the world's most reclusive. Merrill has written numerous articles and several books on Korea.
