This simple site contains my notes on foreign policy, diplomacy and the Korean Peninsula. The site is functional and secure - but if I were a busker, I’d be the one who plays the empty pedestrian tunnel with the acoustics rather than the one in the town square with the tourists and pickpockets.
This site’s not as flashy and exciting as some Substack sites, but the quality is higher and the impact longer lasting.
As you may know, my name is Jeffrey Robertson. I previously worked for the Australian Government doing pretty much the same as I do now, except with more coffee breaks. Now I write from the other side of the line as an academic, consultant, and sometimes second-rate spy fiction ghostwriter.
On this site, I like to keep things lighthearted and chilled. Looking over our paths in diplomacy, foreign policy and Korean affairs, you’d have to be crazy to take it all too seriously. For this reason, I am cynical and often sarcastic, but it’s borne of experience. Take some time to check out the fiction where I really let loose.
On a more serious note, I do hold high-level expertise and have access to an extensive network on the diplomacy, foreign policy, and strategic affairs of the Korean Peninsula region. You can oftimes see me on BBC, Arirang, CNBC, or Channel News Asia (CNA) talking about the region, and I also regularly contribute to international relations and political affairs blogs and magazines and mainstream print media.
With more than 25 years government, consultancy and academic experience, I also undertake research, analysis, and advisory work for governments, the corporate sector, and political risk and human intelligence services providers. Contact me if you want to work together.
