Abstract:
This is supported by the Korea Foundation.
This round table examines Japan-Korea relations by focusing on the bilateral relationship's rapidly changing international context. Rather than focusing on the dominant issues particular to Japan–Korea relations, this project looks at the two powerful drivers of East Asian international politics of late, namely China and the US, that inform and influence Japan and Korea’s domestic politics and international behaviour. As such, the interest of this project is to give greater attention to the interaction between Japan’s and Korea’s relations with both China and the US in order to shed light to the spillover effect of China-US relations on Japan-Korea relations. It aims to be both an exercise in reappraising America’s hub-and-spokes system in the context of changing power dynamics from the China challenge, and an attempt to assess the historical significance of Japan–Korea relations in the transformative phase of modern East Asian politics.
