Strong divergences exist between liberals and conservatives in South Korea on the policy options to adopt towards North Korea, and on the assessment of the broader regional security context.
Dr. Go Myong-Hyun, research fellow at Asan Institute for Policy Studies, will provide an overview of these divergences and an analysis of latest development as seen from Seoul, following the conclusion of the Winter Olympic games.
