[LINK FIXED] Japan Zoominar @ UC San Diego: "Japan and Korea in the Indo-Pacific: A Preview of 2023," with Stephan Haggard

Wed, Dec 14, 9:00-10:00 am JST (Tue, Dec 13, 4:00-5:00 pm Pacific)

How do Japan and South Korea view the geodynamics of the Indo-Pacific region? What are their needs, wants, and fears regarding their alliance with the U.S., and how do they view China? How do they view the situation in North Korea, and how do they assess the larger ongoing, dynamic shifts in global security? While these questions are often discussed for either Japan or South Korea separately, in this conversation Steph Haggard puts them side by side, to bring out similarities and differences in how both countries are repositioning in security, trade, and geopolitics for 2023.

This event is co-sponsored by the Korea-Pacific Program at UC San Diego.
