Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and Inter-Korean Relations: Diverging Views from Seoul
Description
The resumption of the inter-Korean dialogue on the occasion of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics has generated strong reactions among both South Korea's political elite and the general public.
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, provides an overview of these divergences and an analysis of latest development as seen from Seoul, following the conclusion of the Winter Olympic games.
