Dr. Novotná’s research at AGI examines the prospects for renewed U.S.–North Korean diplomacy and the roles that South Korea and Europe can play in shaping it. The project considers how Seoul can preserve its agency and ensure alliance consultation in potential U.S.–North Korea negotiations, how Germany and the EU could support South Korean and U.S. diplomatic efforts, and how North Korea’s growing cooperation with Russia and strategic alignment with China affect prospects for diplomacy. The project will develop policy recommendations on how Germany, the EU, and South Korea can contribute to a more coordinated transatlantic and Indo-Pacific approach toward the Korean Peninsula.
