The East Asia Institute (President Yul Sohn) held the 9th online seminar of the COVID-19 and the New World Order series, titled “What`s Next For the U.S.-Japan-South Korea Partnership? Security and Economic Cooperation in a New Era,” co-hosted with Stanford University’s Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. The ROK-U.S. and U.S.-Japan joint statements have increased expectations for a possible expansion of security and economic cooperation among South Korea, the U.S., and Japan. However, heightened U.S.-China strategic competition, as well as persistent challenges in the region such as historical tensions and the North Korea threat, have complicated the strategic calculus of South Korea and Japan. Under these circumstances, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan must define their economic and security interests and seek ways to maintain friendly relations among the three countries. This seminar discussed security and economic cooperation among Korea, the United States, and Japan in the era of strategic competition between the U.S. and China.


The following are the main topics of the online seminar:

  • ROK-Japan relations and the Future of Trilateral Security Cooperation
  • The Rise of the China Threat
  • Approaching the DPRK Variable and Maintaining Peace on the Korean Peninsula
  • U.S.-China Technology Rivalry
  • Pursuing Trilateral and Regional Economic Cooperation
  • Moving Beyond Severed ROK-Japan Relations
