Practical information
Meeting with Hyung-Gon Jeong, Economist, Specialist of the DPRK economy with the Korea Institute of International Economic Policy (KIEP, Séoul). The seminar is chaired by Françoise Nicolas, Economist, Ifri.
The seminar will be held in English
Vingt ans après la levée du rideau de fer, la République Populaire Démocratique de Corée (RPDC) constitue l"un des derniers vestiges de la période de la guerre froide. Sur le plan économique, bien que le pays se soit tenu volontairement à l‘écart du mouvement de mondialisation, il a cherché à adapter sa politique d"isolement pour s"ouvrir progressivement. Quels sont les résultats de cet effort d"ouverture ? Outre la Corée du Sud, quels sont ses principaux partenaires et quelle est la nature exacte de leurs échanges ? La RPDC est-elle en mesure de suivre les traces de son grand voisin chinois ?
This seminar is held with the support of the Korea Foundation.

Assessing the Balance of Power between Europe and Russia
The evolving U.S. strategic posture and the intensification of the war in Ukraine are reshaping the security landscape in Europe. This context calls for a clear assessment of the balance of power between Europe and Russia.
Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
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.
The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
