The Korean Peninsula in Strategic Competition: Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic Perspectives

How does the Korean Peninsula matter for European and Indo-Pacific security? This workshop sought to analyse how the Korean Peninsula fits into broader cross-regional (i.e., Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic) strategic debates. The workshop pondered how intraregional and cross-regional calculations may impinge on how certain actors – such as the United States, Australia, Japan or Europe – may approach the Korean Peninsula both in peacetime (deterrence) and wartime. The focus was on a scoping exercise, with the purpose of the analysis being to identify key trade-offs and dilemmas, and thus lay the groundwork for further work on how Korea-related developments may impinge on regional and global security.
