Sejong Institute (Korean세종연구소; Hanja世宗硏究所) is a non-profit, independent organization for public interest and a think tank in South Korea, dedicated to developing strategies and policies in areas of foreign and security affairs and Korean unification, regional issues, and international political economy.[1] The Sejong Institute was established as a foundation for policy studies and research with the support of national leaders in politics and business, in the aftermath of the Rangoon Incident in October 1983. The institute's current president, Haksoon Paik (백학순), Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, is a Korean expert in North Korean politics, inter-Korean relations, North Korea-U.S. relations, and North Korean nuclear and missile issues.[2] The Sejong Institute works in collaboration with international specialists and institutions holding various academic conferences and forums around the world. It provides policy ideas and strategies for peace and prosperity for Korea and the world, and plays a role to strengthen Korea's public diplomacy.
