What are their needs, wants, and fears regarding their alliance with the U.S., and how do they view China? How do they view the situation in North Korea, and how do they assess the larger ongoing, dynamic shifts in global security? While these questions are often discussed for either Japan or South Korea separately, in this conversation Steph Haggard puts them side by side, to bring out similarities and differences in how both countries are repositioning in security, trade, and geopolitics for 2023.

Speakers:
• Stephan Haggard, Lawrence and Sallye Krause Professor of Korea-Pacific Studies, Director, Korea-Pacific Program, UC San Diego
• Ulrike Schaede, Professor and Director of the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, GPS UC San Diego
