invite you to a one-day conference at Hallym University of Graduate Studies in
Gangnam, Seoul on October 29, 2018, to discuss the geo-political future of
Northeast Asia. With the surprise engagement policy of North Korea from early
2018 finally new movement came into geopolitics in the region. South Korea
under the Moon Jae-In government proposed a new Northern policy to connect
closer to Russia and also relations to Japan until now proceed relatively
smooth. North Korea has the chance to become closer again to all actors in the
region after its gradual isolation brought about by nuclear policy and
subsequent rounds of sanctions. However, the stance of the US under the Trump
administration is not yet very clear – will it become a surprise leader of
peace in the region, or will the threat of trade wars with China and Russia
destroy the hopes for improvement of the situation? Japan currently tries to
find its new role in Northeast Asian geopolitics but has to cope not only with
domestic economic problems, but also with challenges in its traditional alliance
with the US and due to unresolved issues with its neighbours. In this
situation, the one-day-conference at Hallym University of Graduate Studies
brings together leading experts from Korea, Russia, and Japan as well as other
countries to discuss the geo-political future of Northeast Asia. </span><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; letter-spacing: -0.25pt;">We look forward to your
