Korea's Strategy for Regional and Global Financial Governance: From Rule Taker to Rule Setter?
 In the third installment of EAI's Middle Power Diplomacy Initiative (MPDI) working paper series, Professor Yong Wook Lee, Associate Professor of Political Science at Korea University, claims that South Korea has emerged from being a rule taker to a rule setter in the financial governance of East Asia. He argues that South Korea should make multilateralism, especially that which links regional and global dynamics, the cornerstone of Korean financial and monetary diplomacy. Yet cautions that this should be done without the loss of policy autonomy. He also recommends using an approach of exercising global influence derived from solidifying regional multilateralism and at the same time striving to become an ‘honest broker’ between countries. This is in order to secure policy goals such as exchange rates stability, financial market development, and financial stability.
