Comparative Regionalism in New Eurasia: Trilateral Perspectives for ROK’s New Northern Policy (USA, Europe and Korea)

The aim of this project is to study South Korea’s New Northern Policy in the context of the challenges and opportunities given by China's Belt and Road Initiative and the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy, and to develop a Eurasian strategy, which through revitalization of minilateralism can contribute to the efforts of establishing a peace system on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.
