A new research paper examines South Korea's renewed engagement in sub-Saharan Africa, driven by the pursuit of food and energy security, the establishment of new markets for its goods and the enhancement of its credentials as a prominent global power.

In a new podcast, Chatham House Director Robin Niblett discusses the state of the transatlantic relationship with International New York Times London bureau chief Steven Erlanger, former UK defence secretary Liam Fox and former Foreign Affairs Committee chair Mike Gapes.
