New analysis from #KoreaMonitor: “Korean Reunification Efforts Amidst Rising Global Tensions and South Korean Presence in Central and Eastern Europe”, written by Benjamin Bardos is available for you! Read the full text below
The idea of reunification between North and South Korea seems to be stalled amidst recent global tensions, with North Korea (“N.K.”) doubling down on their cooperation with Russia while South Korea (“S.K.”) deepens ties with Central Eastern Europe (“CEE”).
N.K. has since the onset of global turbulence, brought about by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, chosen to cement its’s ties with Russia all the while distancing itself from the collective west, inclusive of S.K. This represents a clear policy decision on the part of the N.K. leadership to abandon efforts aimed at mending the reunification efforts.
The project is funded by a UniKorea grant, financed by the UniKorea Foundation
