Developments on the Korean Peninsula have an increasingly significant impact on regional and global economic and security dynamics. From the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK or North Korea) rapidly advancing nuclear weapons program and shifting partnerships to the Republic of Korea’s (ROK or South Korea) mounting leadership in critical commercial and military industries to expanding US-ROK alliance cooperation across a range of strategic issue areas, the two Koreas have an outsized influence on world geopolitics.
Stimson’s Korea Program works to help address some of the world’s most pressing traditional and nontraditional security challenges by promoting greater understanding of relations between the United States and the Korean Peninsula through innovative research, strategic dialogues and informed analysis.
