The special report Post-Crisis World Order by the East Asia Institute’s National Security Panel has now been released (Committee Chair Young-Sun Ha, Seoul National University). Launched in September 2009, the National Security Panel’s “Post-Crisis World Order” project has focused on assessing how the world order will change in the post-Global Financial Crisis era where the United States is changing its strategic agenda and China is growing as an emerging power in global governance. This project is focused on changes in four main areas, Security, Economy, Energy and Climate Change, and Culture. The policy recommendations from this report aims to help the South Korean government to find the right strategy for this changing period.
