[WEBINAR] Peninsula Snapshot: Politics, Security, and Economics on the Korean Peninsula

November 4, 2021 — Asia Society Korea brought together three renowned experts — Dr. Duyeon Kim, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Center for New American Security, Dr. Randall Jones, a non-resident fellow at the Korea Economic Institute, and Dr. David Tizzard, assistant professor at Seoul Women’s University — to discuss the current and future development of politics, security, and economics on the Korean Peninsula. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Mason Richey, Asia Society Korea Senior Contributor and Professor of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

This conversation, based on their research presented in the recently edited volume The Future of the Korean Peninsula: 2032 and Beyond, offered an enlightening take on inter-Korean relations and the place of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia.
