Comparing the Shipbuilding Industry: Japan and South Korea

Shipbuilding capability has become a crucial component of sea power competition in the Indo-Pacific region, due to its vast maritime geography. Japan and South Korea are both major shipbuilding powerhouses in the region and are receiving significant attention from the international community. Then, what are the differences and similarities between the shipbuilding models of these two countries, and what lessons can be drawn from them for contemporary shipbuilding investments? In this Indo-Pacific Maritime Hor webinar, Dongkeun Lee, Policy Fellow at the Asia-Pacific Leadership Network, will explore these questions by comparing the development of the shipbuilding industries in Japan and South Korea and proposing a model for latecomers.
