Chaesung Chun, President of EAI and Professor at Seoul National University, analyzes the shifts in the international order represented by China’s recent Victory Day celebrations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, examining North Korea's strategic position among the authoritarian states. President Chun highlights the implications of U.S. hegemonic readjustment, the rise of a multi-topos system, and North Korea’s strategic diplomatic shifts for the Korean Peninsula, presenting the choices facing South Korean diplomacy. In this context, the author suggests that denuclearization and unification strategies for the Korean Peninsula should be considered within the broader framework of international order restructuring. |
