Welcome!
I am a PhD student.
I am studying in the Dept. of Political Science and International Relations at Seoul National Univ.
I studied international politics since undergraduate years.
Since then, my interests developed from international security mainly in East Asia to regional studies in the Middle East.
I aim to understand how the countries under the influence of so-called ‘superpowers’ develop their foreign policies to overcome their ‘reality’ and how domestic political dynamics affect their foreign policy behaviors.
