The Korean Peninsula Scenario: The U.S. Strategy and Trump's Intention
The Korean Peninsula is shrouded in mist once again. A series of North Korea's long-range missile tests over the past few years has caused a lot of tension over it. When North Korea tested its intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the US mainland, the situation turned so grim that nobody could foresee what might happen next. However, the inter-Korean summit followed by a North Korea-United States summit last year, the tense atmosphere on the Korean Peninsula began to thaw. Following a full-on tug-of-war between North Korea and the United States over the denuclearization of the North and the easing of economic sanctions against the country, the second summit between the two countries took place at last in Hanoi, Vietnam in April. The summit, however, yielded unexpected results. Contrary to people¡¯s prediction that the summit would further improve the relationship between the two countries, with the collapse of the summit, the Korean Peninsula fell into zero-visibility status.A Formula for Realizing the Future of the Korean Peninsula
What will the Korean Peninsula look like in the future, which is shrouded with mist and scarcely visible? What kind of future should South Korea aim to build once the mist has lifted? When the denuclearization of North Korea has been achieved, will a permanent peace regime be established here? If so, how will that permanent peace regime be established and what shape will it take?Republic of Korea, Today and Tomorrow
What is the role of South Korea in leading the Korean Peninsula to denuclearization? The South Korean government volunteered to act as a "mediator" to bridge the difference in views between North Korea and the United States. And that yielded some interesting results. It created a peaceful atmosphere on the Korean peninsula which had been on the verge of war, achieving a dramatic reversal. It also helped the first-ever North Korea-United States summit to be held.A Round Table with The U.S., China, Japan, and Russia: How to Survive a Roller Coaster Ride
The Korean Peninsula has been walking a tightrope surrounded by four powerful countries, the United States, China, Japan, and Russia. These four great powers have been trying to maneuver the Korean Peninsula into going in a direction that only serves to protect their own ideologies and systems. The aim is to take out as many competitors from the Korean Peninsula as possible, whether they gain dominance or not.Peace and Prosperity, Strained Coexistence
¡°Peace represents the economy itself.¡± This was the statement by President Moon himself, announced last year through his speech for the National Liberation Day of Korea. It was a blueprint for peace and economic prosperity that can coexist together.From G20 to G2 to G0: What the Next Decade Holds
Even just 10 years ago, the international community was maintaining order to a reasonable degree, with the "G20" system firmly established. Now, ten years having passed since, the world is a very different place. Based on the formidable domestic market it has built by taking advantage of the world¡¯s largest population, China, having outstripped European countries and Japan, has reorganized the global economic order into a G2 system where it stands shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. The recent protectionist trend that the Trump administration of the United States kicked off under the banner of "America First" has intensified trade disputes between America and China, signaling yet another change on the global economy map.A New Cold War at the Crossroad & Corporate Strategies
We have seen a holy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the far-right movements that have hit Europe, and the protectionism headed by the United States. This complex state of affairs in the world can be collectively referred to as ¡®the new Cold War.¡¯ While the Cold War, sustained by two polar opposites of the U.S. and the Soviet Union, was an era of political confrontation, the new Cold War is unfolding in a much more complex way, involving ethnicity, religion, economy, and so on.Prepare for a New Round
Last year, South Korea joined the so-called 3050 club, a group of countries with a population larger than $50 million and income more than $30,000, the 7th nation in the world to do so. Foreign tourists that visited the country reached a highest-ever 3.03 million in the first quarter. In the eyes of foreigners, it is a wonder itself to witness South Korea's marvelous economic growth and rapid democratization in just a few decades. This is not an achievement that is duplicated in other countries that suffered colonial rules and later found independence in the 20th century.Inter-Korean Economic Cooperation, Between Dreams and Reality
For South Korean companies, entering the North Korean market has always been a long, tough journey. It is because the United Nations¡¯ economic sanctions against North Korea are still strong, as well as because companies are blatantly exposed to political and diplomatic shocks due to the nature of the North Korean circumstances. However, interest in investing in North Korea has yet to subside. Stocks related to economic cooperation between South Korea and North Korea have been fluctuating whenever the communication efforts between the countries, and between North Korea and the United States being made, and South Korean companies form task forces in preparation for their forays into the North Korean market. Some SMEs have established joint ventures with Russian and Chinese companies to pursue their North Korean projects.Redrawing the Korean Peninsula's Economic Map
The global economic order, where free trade has been the mainstream, is being destabilized amid the strengthening of protectionism that began with the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. While most countries are refusing protectionism, the stance of the American economic powerhouse remains unchanged.
