The Northeast Asia Center(NEAC) was established with the goal of providing a comprehensive understanding and multidimensional analysis of the multifaceted issues around the political, economic, social, and cultural changes in the Northeast Asian region in the aftermath of globalization. NEAC seeks to explore in-depth and multidimensional approaches through various academic activities and external cooperative efforts on the complex issues in Northeast Asia that are difficult to resolve at the national level, such as the division of the Korean Peninsula and the South-North relations, Korea-China and Korea-Japan relations, changes and mobility in East Asian cities, historical conflicts in Northeast Asia and post-Cold War regimes transitions, transnational issues, and regional conflicts. Further, NEAC aims to promote academic convergence through communication and collaboration with related research institutes within Seoul National University and to serve as a hub and focal point for revitalizing Northeast Asian regional studies by actively engaging in communication and exchange with diverse institutions both within and outside the university.
