The panel featured a special report on the survey by Victor Cha, Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Also included was commentary by Christopher Hill, Dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver, and Marshall Bouton, President of The Chicago Council.
