Shifting Perspectives: South Korean Views of the Alliance, North Korea, Japan and China

Public perceptions play an important role in policy development in democracies. After a year that has seen the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, the rapid escalation of North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, Chinese economic retaliation against South Korea over the deployment of THAAD, and a shift in U.S. policies with the election of Donald Trump as president, South Korean views of its neighbors have begun to shift.

Please join KEI for a discussion of how South Korean perceptions of the U.S.-Korea alliance, China, North Korea, and Japan are shifting and what could be the implications for policy moving forward.
