Abstract
This chapter describes how South Korea's remarkable economic and political development over the past two decades has shaped public opinion and national identity. Conversations with leading South Korean foreign policy analysts reveal widespread pride in the country's recent political and economic development and a resulting confidence derived from its accomplishments. However, South Koreans also harbor a sense of vulnerability stemming from the country's history and its inability to control its destiny with regard to major foreign policies and objectives. Despite the nation being a leading economy, many older Koreans continue to think of themselves as a small country surrounded by larger powers and subject to geopolitical constraints. In contrast, younger Koreans hold a much more ambitious view of Korea's position in the international order and what it should be expected to accomplish.
