Webinar ID: 160 148 6136About the Program
With a new president in Seoul and quickly changing conditions in the region, South Korea faces uncertainty over the roles it might play in Asia. While South Korea has become tied increasingly to South and Southeast Asia through economic and social interactions, there are multiple visions of the country’s place in the region. The alliance with the United States—which is, in turn, undergoing reimagination—informs some of these visions. Navigating this landscape is a challenge for Seoul. This webinar will examine the strategies and policies available to South Korea.
