In this episode of the Reischauer Center's podcast, "Asia in Washington," hosts Jada Fraser and Adriana Reinecke sit down with Mr. Scott Snyder of the Council on Foreign Relations to discuss the outcome of the recent South Korean presidential election and implications for important issues in domestic and foreign policy, including the potential for renewed U.S.-Japan-ROK trilateral cooperation, South Korea-China relations, and gender divisions in the South Korean public. Mr. Snyder maintains that facing a polarized electorate and an opposition-controlled National Assembly, performance and compromise will be key to determining the new Yoon Seok-yeol administration's success. Scott A. Snyder is senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). His program examines South Korea's efforts to contribute on the international stage; its potential influence and contributions as a middle power in East Asia; and the peninsular, regional, and global implications of North Korean instability. Mr. Snyder is the author of "South Korea at the Crossroads: Autonomy and Alliance in an Era of Rival Powers" (January 2018) and coauthor of "The Japan-South Korea Identity Clash: East Asian Security and the United States" (May 2015) with Brad Glosserman. He is also the coeditor of "North Korea in Transition: Politics, Economy, and Society" (October 2012), and the editor of "Global Korea: South Korea's Contributions to International Security" (October 2012) and "The U.S.-South Korea Alliance: Meeting New Security Challenges" (March 2012). Mr. Snyder served as the project director for CFR's Independent Task Force on policy toward the Korean Peninsula. He currently writes for the blog Asia Unbound. Recorded on Wednesday, March 15, 2022.

The Korean Peninsula has historically been a battleground for the major powers. But with successful economic modernisation and transition to democracy, South Korea has sought to navigate rising tensions between the United States and North Korea, and to strategically benefit from China’s economic growth while relying on the United States for security. Dr Snyder discussed debates over South Korea’s strategic choices in the context of rising tensions in Northeast Asia and the wider Indo-Pacific, including in partnership with Australia. Scott Snyder is Senior Fellow for Korea Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a contributor to CFR’s group blog Asia Unbound, and the author of several books about Korean security policy and regional relations in Northeast Asia, most recently South Korea at the Crossroads: Autonomy and Alliance in an Era of Rival Power (2018).

While South Korea has become a major economic power, it is surrounded by far larger players in Asia. It may never be able to play a leading role in shaping both regional and international affairs, but is currently looking for ways to assert itself on the global stage. These aspirations are typical of what scholars define as a Middle Power - an international actor that is neither small nor large. Our guest for this episode is Scott Snyder, who has written extensively on Korea, its middle power diplomacy and its efforts to find a voice in international politics. We talked about Korea’s role in the G20, its summit diplomacy of the past years and its efforts to cooperate with other middle powers. Scott Snyder is senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), based in Washington D.C. He has edited and co-authored several publications, the most recent of which being The Japan-South Korea Identity Clash: East Asian Security and the United States (Columbia University Press, 2015). Prior to joining CFR, he was a senior associate in the international relations program of The Asia Foundation, where he founded and directed the Center for U.S.-Korea Policy. He was also a senior associate at Pacific Forum CSIS and a Pantech visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. Scott Snyder received a BA from Rice University and earned his MA from the regional studies East Asia program at Harvard University. He was also a Thomas G. Watson fellow at Yonsei University in Seoul. He currently writes for the CFR blog Asia Unbound.
