About this Event

Against a backdrop of political chaos in South Korea and more nuclear tests by North Korea, what might be in store for the divided peninsula in 2025? Could Donald Trump reconcile with "Little Rocketman," Kim Jong Un? Will proposed tariffs hurt South Korea or will there be carveouts for a U.S. ally and regional rival to China?

Caught among the world’s largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United States—Korea’s fate has always been closely connected to its geography and the strength of its leadership and society. Join us for a captivating discussion with Dr. Victor Cha and Prof. Ramon Pacheco Pardo, authors of Korea: A New History of South and North, a groundbreaking book that offers fresh insights into one of the world’s most dynamic and complex regions.

As Korea continues to shape global dynamics—from pop culture to North Korea’s support of Russia’s war in Ukraine—understanding the latest developments and the history of the Korean peninsula has never been more essential. A timely, can’t-miss program, whether you're fascinated by Korean culture, geopolitics or regional security!
