Strong divergences exist between liberals and conservatives in South Korea on the policy options to adopt towards North Korea, and on the assessment of the broader regional security context.
Dr. Go Myong-Hyun, research fellow at Asan Institute for Policy Studies, will provide an overview of these divergences and an analysis of latest development as seen from Seoul, following the conclusion of the Winter Olympic games.

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
Videoconferences
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
