This report is based on the findings of a workshop that was held to apply the "theories of change" framework to North Korea, identifying unspoken assumptions and sharpening the strategic logic behind different types of policy interventions. This workshop – which brought together former policymakers and nongovernmental experts on North Korea – was sponsored by the National Committee on North Korea and the United States Institute of Peace’s Asia-Pacific program.
