From Soft Power to Strategic Alignment: Challenges of the Two Koreas and Their Global Implications
Speaker: Yaena Kwon, TV Journalist at ZDF and WDR; Visiting Scholar, Harvard University Asia Center
Moderator: Rana Mitter, S.T. Lee Professor of U.S.-Asia Relations, Harvard Kennedy School
Talk given on April 1, 2024
Location: S020, Belfer Case Study Room, CGIS South, 1730 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA
Co-sponsored by the Harvard University Asia Center, and the Korea Institute, Harvard University
Abstract: South Korea has become a soft superpower whose cultural influence keeps growing internationally and exceeds that of K-pop. When President Yoon Suk-Yeol visited the United States in 2023 and surprised President Biden with his singing skills, he sent out the message, “We go together.” Yet ultimately, South Korea’s smart diplomatic choices are driven by hard power. At the core of the seven-decade partnership between South Korea and the United States is an “ironclad” alliance that is still defined by mutual security and defense interests.
On the other side of the Korean peninsula in the DPRK, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has strengthened his alignment with Vladimir Putin. Since February 2022, Pyongyang and Moscow have denied engaging in any arms deals. However, according to the U.S. government, Kim Jong-Un has been supporting Putin’s war against Ukraine, and Russia has acquired ballistic missiles and other munitions from the DPRK. Both autocrats have also deepened their ties with China, while South Korea, under the Yoon government, has prioritized trilateral cooperation with the United States and Japan.
During the 2024 U.S. election year, the anti-Western alliance between Pyongyang and Moscow might become even more aggressive. What are the geopolitical implications of this strategic alignment? And what will happen to the two Koreas if Donald Trump gets reelected?
In this presentation, visiting scholar and journalist Dr. Yaena Kwon addresses the deepening political divisions on the Korean peninsula and how they impact the security order in Asia and globally.

The Western liberal ideologues and idealists are wholly responsible for this mess.
Inspired by the black and asian global solidarity but I cannot stand that acupuncture as gatekept and reproduced by YT people. It's unbelievable that no one even considers Asian americans and yet an entire industry and now counter industry continue to erase us as the actual communities this practice comes from. It is complete and utter dystopian orientalism and white supremacy, even while telling the story of the black liberation movement.
Sir,what the authors term muslim universalism is in fact Arabic hegemony in the name of islam.Arabic hegemony is worse than European imperialism as Arabic hegemony is passive ethnic cleansing in addition to extracting the global wealth for the welfare of Arabia.
Thank you so much for this interview! As someone who grew up in Daqing and have spent the majority of my life in Daqing, the book really resonates with me on a personal level. I came across the book for my undergrad dissertation in Urban Sociology, and to see my hometown being posited to the spotlight in such an interesting literature really took me by surprise! Thanks again for the interview!

Thank you Harvard Dentistry School for having such big hearts by helping Vietnamese students. It's too bad the corrupt communist regime couldn't care less for our own people. That's why we need to get rid of these incompetent communists and replace them with people who truly care about our people. Please encourage the youth to bring freedom to Vietnam so our people can finally enjoy the same rights and lifestyle that we have here in America.
Sir and Madam, is islamic universalism defined as islamic invasions of a predatory Arabic religion ?
With a strong and nationalist India who would not want to let them secede from India, sadly and unfortunately, this would not be possible in the near and foreseeable future.
Nehru annexed a lot of territory by force, not free will of the people. He was the ultra-nationalist of his time.
You all seem confused. The English language is the basis of AI . You either adopt, adapt and take the easy way, or leave that to the next generation.
This is fantastic ... I enjoyed it very much.
I think Ms. Coronel's assessment and opinion is the most accurate and sound amongst the many sources available out there. She is really seasoned and I would say the one of the most reputable journalists in the Philippines. Kudos.

Actually Leni Robredo did not win in 2016 as vice president for the fact that she had been lowest in all the surveys since the start of the campaign until election..Bongbong Marcos was the no.1 in all the surveys that's why we called her fake VP..Pres.Aquino moved heaven and earth just to make Leni Robredo won as VP even though she had been the consistent lowest in all the surveys...We called it Smartmagic so Leni Robredo won 200k votes...I even voted Leni Robredo but regretted much for having chosen a wrong person as VP..I will never vote her anymore in any position ...
I am 66 years old now so I was 9 years old now when Pres.Marcos became president sometime in 1965..I have witnessed the turn of events...phenomena...happenings since early 60s ..I have observed how the leaders led our country since Pres.Macapagal up to now..As a Filipino I was able to circumspect..looked at the 2 sides of the coin...viewed all angles so I am in the better position to say about our country..I was a college student when martial law was declared in 1972...I did not experience horrible things during martial law..I was a law abiding citizen so no problem about martial law...Our family was Liberal party who did not vote for Pres.Marcos because Pres.Marcos was Nacionalista party..But as I said I could size who was the best ofthem all..Its Pres.Ferdinand Marcos..the most patriotic...nationalistic..the greatest president that the Philippines has ever produced..This conclusion is after circumspection..doing thorough research about our leaders..Imelda Marcos ...the greatest first lady of the Philippines..For this reason..Bongbong Marcos won in an overwhelming 31 million votes..the highest ever in all national elections..Pres.Marcos was not ousted by Filipino people..America orchestrated in overthrowing Pres.Marcos according to George Schultz..then US Secretary of State in his book "Turmoil and Triumph"... 2 percent of Filipinos who were there in 1986 in Edsa..not the majority of Filipinos who were 52 million at that time...Pres.Marcos just wanted to go to Paoay in Ilocos but they were brought tonHawaii on board a US chopper..The rest is history...
The last presidential election is arguably and stastistical rigged. Not to mention how Jr funded lots of trolls and propagandas. Duterte paved the way to BBM. Now the Philippines is such a mess.

Madam hw many more years to wait,i heard since class 7
I think it will be better if Indian universities also start talking about atrocities on red Indians by the european outsiders/settlers and ongoing discrimination aganist black and native populations. Also, atrocities on neighbouring countries like Cuba and Mexcio by the neighbouring foreign forces. Now, when talking about topics like Nagaland and afspa discussions must involve parties from all the sides so as not to keep it as apparently biased. Otherwise discussions like these will seem more like propagandas instead of awareness programs. I as an Indian also believe that afspa should be removed from not just Nagaland but the entire northeast India eventually and sooner and better approach should be implemented like developement and recognition of the actual history. There has been enough bloodshed and this must stop. However, for the current analysis of the scenario both sides must be there on the panel. Discussions on this issue is like having a panel of only the Texas people demanding a different country and including other people in the panel.
Thank you
Thank you all for the wonderful talk. We have learned a lot from it. Naga declared independence on 14 Aug 1947 and India got independence on 15 Aug 1947. Naga celebrates independence one day before India's Independence day. This says it all.

Thankyou Sir, for the update of news for the naga's political History.Sir, you all are have been seen from the beginning to till date we have been waiting for fruitful of nagaland political solution problems tirelessly, but the central government is not considered to solve the issue. Pray for the naga's political solution problems.
How many countries of the world through this media of learned panelists would know more about the Nagas, their land being disintegrated through different neighbouring States and a country Myanmar, their relentless aspirations ( despite Indian's dangerous law called Armed Special Power Act 1958 )to have their own independent nation called Nagalim, etc could be the points many may raise. But the most important question is when and how India respecting Geneva Agreement, would finally leave the Nagas to decide their own fate ?
Wonderful discussion. Thank you to all the panelists. Thank you host of the this webinar. Let the cries of voiceless people be heard in all the four corners of the world. Peace prevails!🕊
Amazing keep up the good work
Hats of to Rose Marry on her very effective participation in the panel which discucussed the Naga issue. Wish every Naga participant in such a panel, can present the Naga case in the way Rose Marry did it.
Wish her all tge best in the days to come. God bless her.
Correction. Wish her all the best in the days to come too. God bless her.
