“…For South Korea, the most prominent national role over the last four administrations has been the conceptualisation of itself as a middle power. While there is no agreement on what constitutes a middle power (Robertson 2017), there has been a growing consensus that South Korea's national role has evolved to conform to most interpretations of what constitutes a middle power in order to justify its greater involvement at the regional and global levels (Karim 2018). Nonetheless, this paper argues that South Korea's middle power diplomacy toward ASEAN seems incomplete, narrowly portrayed itself as an advocate of developmentalism and a bridge-builder focusing on "niche areas" within which the ROK has relative advantages.…”

“…Esta visión optimista del rol de Seúl como balanceador entre estos dos grandes poderes es contestada por otras miradas que plantean que la alianza militar que Corea mantiene con Washington la aleja de este papel (Lee, 2012;Easley & Park, 2017). El sólo hecho de proponerse como balanceador en esta disputa, supone -desde la mirada de Estados Unidos inclusive-un alejamiento de la alianza, y paralelamente un mayor acercamiento relativo a China (Karim, 2018). El debate entre estas dos posturas se ve reflejado en el devenir de la política exterior surcoreana de las últimas décadas, que osciló en la adopción de este rol a nivel regional, frente a las implicancias en las relaciones con su principal aliado.…”

“…En las últimas décadas y de manera creciente a partir de la mayor participación de Corea en instancias multilaterales regionales y globales, el término de potencia media se ha convertido en un concepto neurálgico para identificar el modelo de política exterior e internacional del país. Esto responde, en cierta medida, a la propia autodefinición que, desde la década del noventa, el gobierno de Seúl adoptó para el país, promoviendo la imagen de este como actor clave en Asia y en el mundo (Teo, Singh & Tan, 2013;Karim, 2018).…”
