Our Work

Inter-Korean Dialogue

Inter-Korean relations are shaped by the ongoing division of the Korean Peninsula, conflicts between North and South Korea as well as diverging interests between regional and global powers such as the US and China. By promoting dialogue and trust building, FES intends to contribute to peace and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula.

Our Work

Korea and the New Geopolitics of Asia

The regional geopolitical landscape is changing rapidly. Increased competition between the U.S. and China, the reorganization of global supply chains and the corona pandemic are reshaping the geopolitics of Asia. What will be the impact on the Korean Peninsula?

Our Work

Future of Work

Automation, digitalization and platforms are rapidly changing the economic systems and the world of work. In South Korea, especially the automotive industry and the platform economy are undergoing a rapid transformation creating new challenges for both companies and workers.

Our Work

Social Justice and Gender Equality

The dynamic economic development of South Korea was mainly driven by export-oriented industrial policy and large conglomerates. However, social development indicators have not been able to keep pace with economic progress. Thus, promoting social justice and gender equality remains an important task.

Our Work

Climate Change and Energy Policy

As an advanced industrial country, South Korea is a large emitter of greenhouse gases. However, with the recognition of the importance of the climate change, South Korea has started to develop sustainable climate and energy policies.
