South Korea is a battery success story. I wrote how Korea invested in the innovation ecosystem that propelled it to be the world's number 2 producer of lithium-ion batteries in @CarnegieEndow's new report on global policy ecosystems carnegieendowment.org/resear…
That strategy helped Korea build lithium-ion competitiveness through coordinated upgrading.
But as lithium-ion chokepoints become more difficult, Korea is now trying to diversify their industry before the structure hardens further in China’s favor.

Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is hitting South Korea especially hard. The country’s new president is now forced to choose between energy supplies, industrial competitiveness, and his own progressive agenda.

South Korea is far from the warzone in Iran. But its economy is facing “outsized shocks,” write @darciedraudt and Tim Sahay. The country’s longstanding energy vulnerability means that shocks like these can destabilize key industries.

Ahead of Yoon Suk-Yeol's court hearing on insurrection charges, intense political polarization has come to define South Korea’s political environment.
How will the conservative party navigate this moment without a clear leader? @darciedraudt explains: carnegieendowment.org/emissa…

@hankyungmedia에서 한국 반도체의 미래에 대한 제 연구를 다뤄주어 영광입니다. @NZpolicylab의 @70sBachchan, 한나 정과 공동 집필한 "클린 칩" 보고서를 바탕으로, 공급망이 2030년까지 탄소중립 제조를 요구함에 따라 한국은 클린 반도체로 전환해야 합니다. hankyung.com/article/2025071…
이는 에너지 안보가 단순히 환경 문제가 아니라 경제적 경쟁력과 지정학적 포지셔닝에 중요하다는 제 연구를 바탕으로 합니다.

Honored to be featured in @hankyungmedia discussing my research on Korea’s semiconductor future. Based on a @NZpolicylab report I cowrote @70sBachchan and Hannah Jeong, Korea must pivot to clean chips as supply chains demand carbon-neutral manufacturing hankyung.com/article/2025071…

S.Koreans grew more accepting of people with different ethnic/cultural backgrounds for the 1st time in 9 years, led by those who interacted with migrants as colleagues/classmates/etc., a state survey showed. Children showed far more acceptance than adults.

Around 60% of young women voted for the liberal candidate in South Korea's recent presidential election, while a majority of young men voted for the more conservative candidates. What’s behind this stark divide? My conversation with @CarnegieEndow’s @darciedraudt:
