South Korea’s Geoeconomic Strategy: Industrial Policy in Comparative Context

KEI is pleased to hold a program on South Korea’s Geoeconomic Strategy: Industrial Policy in Comparative Context. Like other countries, South Korea faces an increasingly uncertain and fractious global political economy marked by the exclusionary trade and investment policies, export controls, and a hardening of geopolitical fault lines. In this context, South Korea—and Korean firms—must consider a range of industrial policies as part of its broader geoeconomic strategy.

Please come join KEI’s program with KEI’s Non-resident Fellow Dr. Sunhyung Lee, which offers a discussion on the evolution of South Korea’s industrial policies in comparison to those of the United States, China, and Japan as well as patterns in the investment flows of South Korean firms. Dr. Lee’s research will be featured in the spring/summer issue of KEI’s flagship journal, Korea Policy, due to be published in digital format in early June.

The hybrid panel event will run from 10:00-11:00AM ET at KEI’s office and be livestreamed on KEI’s YouTube channel.
