ROK-US alliance 3.0 at 70
President Yoon Suk Yeol paid a state visit to the United States last week at a doubly symbolic moment. This year South Korea and the United States celebrate 70 years of partnership in arms. But the celebration takes place under cloudy skies fraught with mounting volatility and uncertainty for the global and regional orders.

World Expo 2030: Elusive dream or watershed moment for Korea's takeoff?

A senior delegation from the World Expo Organization or Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) will visit Korea's candidate city, Busan, for an on-site inspection and enquiry.

Russian nuclear roulette
Ahead of its widely expected spring offensive in Ukraine, Russia announced its decision to suspend its participation in New START, a landmark nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, which has recently been extended to Feb. 4, 2026.

Japan's new security policy: normalizing or remilitarizing?
The Japanese government has announced a new security policy aimed at acquiring counter-strike capabilities and doubling its defense expenditure over the next five years. This is a significant departure from Japan's long-held policy of limiting its security posture strictly to self-defense.

North Korean riddle: what next after nuclear test?
North Korea is ramping up pressure through a series of missile tests and harsh verbal attacks against South Korea's top government officials. The intensity of North Korean provocations is well illustrated by a record number of missiles launched on one day - over twenty - as well as the unprecedented frequency of missile tests averaging more than once a week for the last three months. Most observers concur that the seventh nuclear test is imminent. It is simply a matter of when, not if.

Hegemonic competition beyond new Cold War
The relations among nation-states are in flux. Many pundits are raising the alarm about the return of the Cold War. But this time around, the main frontier lies not between the United States and the Soviet Union, but between the United States and China, a fast-rising challenger to the U.S.-led international order.

Multilateral diplomacy: wild card with caveats for Seoul
Multilateral diplomacy has been in full swing for the new government of South Korea since right after the inauguration of President Yoon Suk-yeol four months ago. Most recently it culminated in the United Nations summit in New York, home to the most universally multilateral institution. This fall will see the upcoming G-20 summit in Indonesia and the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit in Thailand held consecutively in mid-November.

Korea: shrimp or safety valve between US, China?
World politics is going through a great upheaval. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the latest manifestation of the growing malaise in big power relations.
