The North Korean regime is among the most acute potential sources of global instability today, affecting and shaping complex regional dynamics in East Asia. In this 1.5-day exercise, participants conduct a crisis simulation centred around a fictional crisis scenario emerging in North Korea. Participants are divided into six teams, representing China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States. Each team must pursue its own national policy objectives, and each participant has a specific role within their team.
