My research interests are broadly located in International Relations History & Theories, International Political Economy, Foreign Policy, and East Asian Politics, Economy, and Security. My recent research agendas include the US-China tech war and South Korea’s strategy, particularly my research pays special attention to the global chip competition and the South Korean government’s policies to support the chip industry. My future research is to extend this topic and explore other major economies' policies to support their chip industries, comparing and evaluating these policies. These economies include Taiwan, Japan, and the EU as well as South Korea all of which are deeply involved in global chip sypply chains. Another research agenda that I am interested in is South Korea’s policy options to the advancement of North Korea’s nuclear capacity. In particualr, I would like to compare and evaluate the two policy options: nuclear sharing and independent nuclear armament.
