On several occasions since 2013, crashed North Korean drones have been discovered in strategically significant areas in South Korea. Do North Korean drones represent a threat to Korean security? How is North Korea likely to use drones against South Korea and why? In this presentation at the Korea Economic Institute of America, Dr. Jackson presents the first framework for answering these questions and more relating to North Korean drones and Korean Peninsula strategy.
The Cold War is over. South Korea has become an advanced industrial economy with a modern military, while North Korea's military is increasingly decrepit. Why is the U.S. alliance with South Korea still necessary? This presentation to the U.S. Naval War College places the U.S.-Korea alliance in the context of Asia's contemporary security environment, arguing that while regional circumstances have changed, the U.S.-Korea alliance is more necessary to regional security than at any point in the last 25 years.
The trend of strategic hedging is pervasive in Asia, and this presentation at the National Bureau of Asian Research explains why. Asian states look to the United States for security, yet prioritize its economic relationship with China over others. Military modernization and arms racing is pervasive, yet there are almost no declared adversaries in the region. And there is little appetite for either rules-based institutions or new alliances. All this points to hedging, driven by the growing complexity of the Asian security landscape and the uncertainty facing decision-makers about a future regional order.
Does Kim Jong-un really run North Korea? How long can he stay in power? What is likely to precipitate political change in North Korea, and what will different types of political change mean for regional stability? This presentation at the Center for Strategic & International Studies surveys the "most likely" alternative futures North Korea faces, and considers what that means for South Korea, the future of its alliances with the United States, and implications for nuclear proliferation.
How does remembrance of Japan's colonial era affect contemporary geopolitics? As the U.S. pursues its policy of "rebalancing" to Asia, cooperation among its allies and partners is crucial for sustaining not only U.S. influence, but regional stability as well. In this talk, Dr. Van Jackson explains that Japan's failure to reconcile with its past, combined with the domestic politicization of history in China and South Korea, risks creating an entirely new regional alignment in Northeast Asia.
