Against the backdrop of growing geopolitical challenges, many countries are re-examining international scientific cooperation through the lens of national security. The security turn in research collaboration and exchange in higher education has prompted policy debates over the future of global science. More can be learned about this security turn by examining a society in which national security concerns have appeared relatively rarely in policy discussions about international research collaboration. South Korea’s example demonstrates the significance of national context in shaping the extent to which security frames policy on international research collaboration.
