This paper explores South Korea’s strategic and foreign policy options, which are restrained
by great power rivalries in its region and an always troublesome North Korea. The text’s
authors ultimately conclude that Seoul should 1) continue to hedge against the US-China
rivalry by ‘playing on both sides of the fence’; 2) push for the creation of regional security
mechanisms, but also reserve the right to join others in offsetting China’s hegemonic
aims; and 3) reassure the US that it shares its broader interests, although in a necessarily
‘flexible’ way.
