About the author
I'm an academic - an Associate Professor of Diplomatic Studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea; a Visiting Fellow at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne; and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Korea Economic Institute of America (KEI). My areas of academic interest include the interaction between diplomatic practice and foreign policy, middle powers in the international system, diplomatic discourse, and North Asia (China, the Koreas, Japan, and Russian Far East).
I’m also a consultant - I provide research, analysis, and advisory work on the Korean Peninsula. With twenty-five years in operational and analytical government roles, academia, and consultancy, I have built a solid reputation. Recent work has included subjects as diverse as regional oil storage facilities, the nuclear energy sector, political candidate profiles, strategic decision-making, bureaucratic traditions, and foreign ministry organizational culture. Consultancy clients include governments, embassies, and intergovernmental organizations in the region, private/think-tank/NGO sectors (Incheon Development Institute, FKI, Hanil Scientific) and strategic studies and political risk services providers (Economist Intelligence Unit, the Financial Times Group, and Oxford Analytica).
Finally, I'm a writer. My works appears in think-tank and international relations venues, such as The Peninsula, The Interpreter, The Strategist, Australian Outlook, and Policy Forum, among others. My writing also includes creative non-fiction and fiction - with espionage and political thriller ghostwriting a growing pastime. I regularly contribute to both print and broadcast media and have made appearances on BBC, CNN, CNBC, Arirang, Al Jazeera, and Channel News Asia.
