For the past year and a half, the EAI’s National Security Panel had been conducting research to develop policy projections on the future agendas for South Korea's foreign policy in the context of leadership changes in Northeast Asia. Led by EAI Chairman Young-Sun Ha, this research panel has examined the complex networks in international politics of the twenty-first century where issues such as politics, security, economics, and the environment are intricately connected.

 

To present the findings from this research, the EAI hosted a conference entitled "Toward 2020: Ten Agendas for South Korea’s Foreign Policy." Discussants for this conference included politicians, scholars and experts who commented on the policy recommendations from the research findings. This conference was also broadcasted live on WikiTree, a social network news service.”
