The Council on Foreign Relations marks the release of Global Korea: South Korea’s Contributions to International Security with this special TKS discussion. The study examines South Korea’s increased participation in peacekeeping, counter-piracy, post-conflict reconstruction, and counter-proliferation. Scott Snyder, Senior Fellow for Korea Studies and Director of the Program on U.S.-Korea Policy at CFR, argues that South Korea has built an impressive and multifaceted set of capabilities that has enabled it to make significant contributions to international stability and emerge as a global player. He will be joined by the CRDF Partnership for Nuclear Security’s Scott Thomas Bruce and Professor Terence Roehrig, Director of the Asia-Pacific Studies Group at the U.S. Naval War College and Research Fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
