South Korea's Grand Strategy

Andrew Yeo, Brookings Institution:
In South Korea’s Grand Strategy, Ramon Pacheco Pardo offers a theoretically compelling and empirically rich account explaining how a small, initially inward-looking country developed a formidable grand strategy. Scholars and practitioners interested in grand strategy, foreign policy, East Asian affairs and South Korean politics will benefit greatly from this book.

Terence Roehrig, author of Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. Nuclear Umbrella: Deterrence After the Cold War:
Ramon Pacheco Pardo’s new book South Korea’s Grand Strategy is an outstanding assessment of the country’s remarkable journey to become an influential and respected middle power. This book is required reading for those who study South Korean foreign policy as well as scholars of grand strategy.

Sung-han Kim, former South Korean national security adviser:
Ramon Pacheco Pardo’s mastery of South Korea and South Korea’s grand strategy are well presented in this book. A must for all who want to see how South Korea has achieved autonomy and freedom of action in approaching the world.
