South Korea's Engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa

Chatham House published in October 2014 a research paper titled "South Korea's Engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa: Fortune, Fuel and Frontier Markets" by Vincent Darracq and Daragh Neville, both at Chatham House. 

South Korea's renewed engagement in sub-Saharan Africa is driven primarily by three factors: the pursuit of food and energy security; the establishment of new markets for its manufactured goods; and the enhancement of its credentials as a prominent global power, particularly in order to counter the diplomacy of North Korea.
