Abstract

This article explores the interplay between evolving geopolitical dynamics in East Asia and international student mobility, focusing particularly on South Korea’s shifting alliances. It examines the influence of national policies and geopolitical shifts on individual study abroad decisions, using data trends and case studies like the Campus Asia Project. It argues for the crucial role of educational institutions in fostering diplomacy and mutual understanding, particularly in times of shifting alliances and geopolitical uncertainties.
