- South Korea's democratic trajectory has been marked by a persistent challenge that undermines its strategic position on the global stage: the absence of policy continuity across successive administrations.
- As the Lee Jae-myung administration takes office, there exists a critical opportunity to break this destructive cycle and establish policy frameworks that can transcend partisan politics.
- South Korea's ability to maintain its hard-won position as a prosperous democracy and key regional power depends on developing strategic coherence across successive administrations.
