Under the newly inaugurated @Jaemyung_Lee administration, this gap is likely to continue fueling tensions in the U.S.–ROK alliance in the Trump-Lee era. We offer several policy recommendations to narrow the gap further. [3/3]

My op-ed, co-authored with @ianjbowers, has been published @WarOnTheRocks. In this article, we argue that what we term the “ambiguity-explicitness gap” in the U.S.–ROK alliance has been a key source of Seoul’s distrust of U.S. extended deterrence. [1/3] https://t.co/xmvuR7jD45

“As North Korea’s deployment of the new missile launchers attests, South Korea has found itself in an asymmetric arms race that is impossible to win,” write @ianjbowers and Henrik Stålhane Hiim (@henrihi82).

Happy to share that an article drawn from the first part of my book project is now online at @ISQ_Jrnl, on why rising powers like China become revisionist powers. It is based on a manuscript that previously won @ISSS_ISA's Patricia Weitsman award 1/n https://t.co/9mO9gPVAhE
