Implications of North Korea’s ‘Multipolarization’ Discourse

Chaesung Chun, President of EAI (Professor at Seoul National University), analyzes North Korea’s recent emphasis on ‘multipolarization,’ not merely as an assessment of the international landscape, but as a strategic rhetoric intended to justify the survival of the regime and the reinforcement of nuclear capabilities. President Chun suggests that these shifts could create structural vulnerabilities in South Korean diplomacy and calls for South Korea to develop its own narrative on the international order.
