South Korea has a remarkable history. Born from the ashes of imperial domination, partition and a devastating war, back in the 1950s there were real doubts about its survival as an independent state. Yet South Korea endures: today it is a boisterous democracy, a vibrant market economy, a tech powerhouse, and home to the coolest of cultures. In just seventy years, this society has grown from a shrimp into a whale. What explains this extraordinary transformation? For some, it was individual South Koreans who fought to change their country, and still strive to shape it. For others, it was forward-looking political and business leaders with a vision. Either way, it's clear that this is the story of a people who dreamt big, and whose dreams came true. Shrimp to Whale is a lively history of South Korea, from its millennia-old roots, through the division of the Peninsula, dictatorship and economic growth, to today's global powerhouse.

Since the end of World War II, the global political landscape had been dominated by two superpowers, the USA and the USSR, and the tense stand-off of the Cold War. But, as the Cold War began to thaw, it became clear that a new global model might emerge. The commonly held belief amongst those studying international relations was that it was impossible for nations to work together without the influence of a hegemon (a dominant international power) to act as both referee and ultimate decision-maker. This paradigm -neorealism - worked on the basis that every nation will do all it can to maximize its power, with such processes only checked by a balance of competing powers. Keohane, however, examined the evidence afresh and came up with novel explanations for what was likely to come next. He went outside the dominant paradigm, and argued for what came to be known as the neoliberal conception of international politics. States, Keohane said, can and will cooperate without the influence of a hegemonic power, so long as doing so brings them absolute gains in the shape of economic and cultural benefits. In Keohane's highly-creative view, the pursuit of national self-interest leads naturally to international cooperation - and to the formation of global regimes (such as the United Nations) that can reinforce and foster it.

Key geo-economic megatrends in the Indo-Pacific in recent decades have been defined and underpinned by a common theme: greater state-led regionalism and market-led regionalisation. In other words, regional integration. It should be noted, however, that in geo-economic terms regional integration continues to be dominated by the East Asia versus Asia-Pacific divide. This brief will analyse whether the decades-old trend of growing regional economic integration is poised to continue up to 2030 or not – and whether, in this context, Indo-Pacific economics will be dominated by integration or decoupling. The brief will first look at the areas of trade, foreign direct investment, level playing field, and connectivity and infrastructure. Our experts survey suggests that these are the areas of most importance for the EU. The second focus is on economic growth, green economy, and sustainable development, also of importance to the EU as per our survey. The brief will then shift its attention to security and diversification of supply chains, which our survey shows also matters to the the EU. A concluding section will summarise the key arguments.
