In my recent analysis for the Polish Institute of International Affairs, I argue that the evolution of 🇰🇷 domestic situation, the definition of the terms of the alliance, 🇰🇷 stance on 🇺🇸🇨🇳 rivalry, and the coordination of policies towards 🇰🇵 will be crucial for South Korea’s alliance with the U.S. 👇

South Koreans work during the day, protest in the evening. A considerable crowd has gathered in Gwanghwamun Square, almost empty during the day. Everything was very well organised, with loud music cheering the protesters.
