South Korea’s Engagement in Asian Regional Outer Space Institutions: Economics, Security, and Institutional Design

Kristi Govella

Abstrak

ABSTRACT As an emerging space power, how is South Korea engaging with the regional institutional architecture of outer space cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region? This article argues that South Korea’s institutional strategies have been influenced by economic opportunities, security interests, and institutional characteristics. Due to these factors, South Korea has focused its engagement on the Japan-led Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF), and it is considering new opportunities in minilateral dialogs with the US and its allies and partners. In contrast, South Korea has not joined the China-led Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO), and it has shown limited or no interest in two other regional space science and technology education institutions led by India and China respectively.
