Director of the Institute of International Affairs Seong-Ho Sheen moderated the seminar, and King’s College London Professor Bence Nemeth gave a presentation entitled the “Lessons from European Defence Cooperation for the US-ROK Nuclear Assurance Debate.” Professor Nemeth argued that when countries are dissatisfied with the assurance of their stronger partner, they have two alternatives: pursuing self-reliance by going at it alone, or looking for alternative partners. In the case of South Korea, since South Korea cannot find an alternative country to make up for the US nuclear umbrella, it is most likely to develop its own nuclear weapons while intending to stay in the US-ROK alliance. He also reviewed the cases of EU defence policy and France as well as the NATO applications of Sweden and Finland to draw out lessons for South Korea.
