Areas of Research

Fellowship Program is intended to generate constructive and informative
research in four important areas: (1) issues concerning the two Koreas and
Northeast Asia; (2) security issues involving Korea and Northeast Asia; (3) economic
and social issues in Korea; and (4) political development in South Korea.
