“…Despite perhaps less than completely altruistic motivations, given the humanitarian policy areas identified for national diplomatic focus, there is tremendous potential for others in the region to be aided by Korean initiatives and agenda-setting. Perhaps this could be termed "collateral benefit" or a happy coincidence of national interest of the middle power actor and the needs of vulnerable individuals and groups, as well as the wider regional security and development operating environment (Howe 2013). Indeed, because it is in the ROK's national interest to help others, they may be more committed to doing so.…”

South Korea (Korea) lacks the compulsory power of regional and global great powers, but still strives to play a major role in the fields of peacebuilding and development. It is a middle power which, due to geopolitical constraints, is unable to play the neutral or brokering role of traditional middle powers, and thus must turn to other areas of agenda setting and niche diplomacy. This article examines policy arenas for which Korea is particularly well suited to playing such a role, and in which Korea can have a major impact, significantly to the mutual advantage of Korea and its regional partners. In order to do so to the best of its ability, Korea needs to shift its policy emphasis from bilateral to multilateral endeavors.

“… 20 The limitation of human security as a category of research ( Paris 2001 ) has not affected the proliferation of human security studies. In the Asian context, the narrow-broad debate has catalyzed a multitude of conceptual and empirical research ranging from the narrow realm of freedom from fear topics such as the adoptability of R2P by Bellamy and Drummond (2011) to the broad investigation of freedom from want issues and the challenges of mainstreaming human security at national and regional levels as represented by the works of Nishikawa (2010) , Hernandez and Kraft (2012) , Teh (2012) , Howe (2013) and Mine, Gomez, and Muto (2019) . Freedom from want issues such as poverty, natural disasters, health outbreaks, migration, food safety, drug smuggling, and human trafficking are central concerns of many developing Asian countries and because of their more receptive outlook compared to humanitarian intervention may explain the interests and research tendencies of Asian scholars.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every aspect of life, for individuals, communities, nations, regions, and the international system. In this forum, scholars from around the world with diverse areas of expertise consider the contributions of international relations (IR) scholarship in our understanding of the politics and governance challenges surrounding the pandemic. The seven essays that follow together examine how our current state of knowledge speaks to the theme of ISA 2020: “Multiple Identities and Scholarship in a Global IR: One Profession, Many Voices.” Each essay features a research area and body of scholarship that both informs our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and reflects on how the pandemic challenges us to push our scholarship and intellectual community further. Together, these essays highlight the diversity of our discipline of IR and how its many voices may bring us together in one conversation. La pandemia de COVID-19 ha afectado prácticamente a todos los aspectos de la vida para las personas, las comunidades, las naciones, las regiones y el sistema internacional. En este foro, los académicos de todo el mundo con diversas áreas de experiencia consideran las contribuciones de los estudios de las relaciones internacionales (International Relations, IR) a nuestro entendimiento de la política y los desafíos de gobierno que rodean a la pandemia. Los siete ensayos a continuación analizan en conjunto cómo nuestro estado de conocimiento actual aborda el tema de la Asociación de Estudios Internacionales (International Studies Association, ISA) de 2020: “Múltiples identidades y estudios en una IR global: una profesión, muchas voces.” Cada ensayo presenta un área de investigación y un cuerpo de estudios que conforman nuestro entendimiento de la pandemia de COVID-19 y también reflexionan sobre cómo esta nos desafía a impulsar aún más a nuestra comunidad académica e intelectual. En conjunto, estos ensayos destacan la diversidad de nuestra disciplina de relaciones internacionales y cómo sus numerosas voces pueden juntarnos en una conversación. La pandémie de COVID 2019 a affecté pratiquement tous les aspects de la vie, que ce soit les individus, les communautés, les nations, les régions ou le système international. Dans cette tribune, des chercheurs du monde entier spécialisés dans divers domaines d'expertise réfléchissent aux contributions des recherches en relations internationales à notre compréhension des défis politiques et de gouvernance entourant la pandémie. Les sept essais ainsi réunis examinent la manière dont l’état actuel de nos connaissances aborde le thème de la convention 2020 de l'Association d’études internationales : « Identités et recherches multiples dans des relations internationales globales : une profession, de nombreuses voix ». Chaque essai présente un domaine de recherche et un corpus d’études qui éclaire notre compréhension de la pandémie de COVID 2019 tout en amenant une réflexion sur la façon dont la pandémie nous remet en question et nous pousse à aller plus loin dans nos recherches et notre communauté intellectuelle. Ensemble, ces essais mettent en évidence la diversité de notre discipline des relations internationales et la manière dont ses nombreuses voix peuvent nous réunir dans un débat.

“…But there is tension between the two, and state violence at the expense of human security is likely to continue until this is reconciled. True, emphasis on "freedom from want," through "good governance" supports the role of a strong state (Howe 2013). However, rather than principle or development theory, what matters more is the benefit Northeast Asian officials see accruing to their state and its citizens through provisioning friendly support to Southeast Asian governments.…”
