Forging New U.S.-ROK Political Relationships

In response to current tensions in the U.S.-Republic of Korea political relationship, the Mansfield Foundation has initiated a project intended to forge stronger political relationships among the current and rising generation of leaders in Washington and Seoul. As part of this project, the Foundation is organizing a series of dialogues that engage those individuals most likely play key roles in post-Bush, post-Roh administrations and in U.S.-ROK relations for decades to come.

These dialogues will be informed by provocative and relevant issue papers, solicited from experts outside the core group of participants.

The project will analyze such issues as:
• Understanding domestic change in South Korea
• Realigning expectations in the alliance
• Coming to terms with nationalism in South Korea
• Diverging threat perceptions of North Korea
• Respective visions for Northeast Asia
• Future of the U.S.-ROK alliance
