How has South Korea become one of the richest countries in the world in barely half a century? An economic miracle inspired by the model of its Japanese neighbour, combining state interventionism, economic liberalisation and investment in research and development, not to mention a powerful 'soft power', from television series to pop music.

The history of South Korea is inextricably linked to that of its northern neighbour. The two enemy brothers tore each other apart during the bloody Korean War (1950-1953) and to this day have not made peace. Beyond this, Seoul is also seeking to carve out a place for itself on the great strategic chessboard of the Indo-Pacific region, resisting both Pyongyang and Beijing by playing the ASEAN, Japan, Australia, India and, of course, the United States card.
