Entrenched relationships are being redefined across the Pacific, with China now South Korea’s number one trading partner and destination for foreign investment and tourism. What are the implications of this regional sea change for politics and security in East Asia?

Join us as Scott Snyder, author of China's Rise and the Two Koreas: Politics, Economics, Security (Lynne Rienner, 2008), discusses the transformation of the Sino-South Korean relationship since the early 1990s with John Delury, director of the China Boom Project. Snyder considers the strategic significance of recent developments in China’s relationship with both North and South Korea and also assesses the likely consequences of those developments for U.S. and Japanese influence in the region. His meticulous study lends important context to critical debates regarding China’s foreign policy, Northeast Asian security, and international relations more broadly.
