June 17, 2025: The recording of the “Korea Strategic Talks Webinar VII: Presidential Election in South Korea – What Next?” is now available on ISDP’s YouTube channel.
In June 2024, the ISDP Stockholm Korea Center introduced a new series of “Korea Strategic Talks,” to further promote dialogue and exchange of views related to the developments on the Korean peninsula.
During this third series of talks, the discussion is concentrating on domestic political development in South Korea, following the outcome of the presidential election.
- Can we already say something about possible policy shifts in foreign and defense policies?
- How will the outcome impact prospects for inter-Korean relations and engagement with DPRK?
- What possible implications will the outcome have on the ROK domestic situation, a continuation of societal division, or a return to more of a compromise?
- How have domestic institutions handled the political turmoil following the martial law declaration on December 3rd?
