About The Asan Security Quarterly
The Asan Security Quarterly seeks to offer a platform for international debates on security issues most pertinent to the Korean Peninsula, with a particular focus on the Republic of Korea’s strategic interests.
In keeping with the Asan Institute’s core mission to undertake policy-relevant research to foster domestic, regional, and international environments conducive to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, the Asan Security Quarterly’s selection of topics and contributors prioritizes Korea’s place in the world and how Korea should conduct itself on the world stage.
To do so, the Asan Security Quarterly issues are each focused on a single issue facing Korean policymakers. The articles offer diverse, competing, but tangible policy recommendations that can inform readers and policymakers alike about the options they have available.

About The Asan Institute for Policy Studies
As an independent, non-partisan think tank, the Asan Institute for Policy Studies is dedicated to undertaking policy-relevant research to foster domestic, regional, and international environments conducive to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The Asan Institute was established in commemoration of the Founder and Honorary Chairman of Hyundai Group, Chung Ju-yung, who left an indelible mark on South Korea’s modernization and inter-Korean exchanges towards peace.
Named after Chung Ju-yung’s pen name, “Asan”, Dr. MJ Chung founded the Asan Institute on February 11, 2008 to become a world-class think tank that mirrors South Korea’s place on the world stage.
