South Koreas Progressive Foreign Policy Outlook: A Conversation with S. Nathan Park


Since democratization in 1987, South Koreas progressive parties have produced less than half of the presidents elected to office. During their brief tenures, however, these administrations have deployed troops to Iraq, negotiated the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement, and overseen the expansion of the countrys defense budget and capabilities. Despite this record, South Koreas progressive foreign policy posture has sometimes been caricatured as anti-American. With another presidential election around the corner, a deeper understanding of South Korean progressive views of their countrys foreign policy interests will help U.S. policymakers and observers better understand the discourse in Seoul.
