A proposal for constitutional amendments to address American realities
A proposal for constitutional amendments to address American realities
The rapid shifts in American politics demand that we revise our aged constitution so that it better reflects the reality of contemporary institutions. If we fail to take such a brave step, we run the serious risk that our politics and practices will grow so completely out of tune with the constitution that it will lose what remains of its tattered legitimacy. Here is a modest...

'Eat food. Lose yourself'
'Eat food. Lose yourself'
I want to walk home rather than taking the bus these days. Every time I get on the crowded bus after work, I am forced to watch broadcasts on the television affixed just behind the driver's seat. Those broadcasts are not thoughtful discussions about Korean history, or even reports about important contemporary issues that citizens should know about. Rather we are subjected to ...

Four perspectives on Trump's engagement with North Korea
Four perspectives on Trump's engagement with North Korea
The loose cannon, shoot-from-the-hip approach to politics that has set Donald Trump's administration apart from any previous administration in American history has had a profound impact on American policy in East Asia. In many cases, Trump's open contempt for established diplomatic processes and conventions, not to mention international law, has increased distrust and created...

How I discovered inequity at the airport
How I discovered inequity at the airport
I had several hours before the departure of my flight from Incheon International Airport. So I went out searching for a notebook and a pen so I could write down a few ideas for use in my book manuscript. But nowhere could I find anything of use for sale.

A call for true security in a misguided age
A call for true security in a misguided age
We hear the most contorted and grotesque fairytales about how a handful of billionaires and their sycophants are going to solve the security crisis in Northeast Asia. But the security crisis we keep being reminded of concerns North Korea's nuclear weapons - something treated as if unrelated to the blatant violation of the nonproliferation treaty by the United States in its fa...

Could the environment ministry lead Korea?
Could the environment ministry lead Korea?
It was my first visit to Ministry of the Environment in Sejong City. The trip itself reminded me of just how far we have to go to create an ecological Korea. After all, Sejong City does not have a train station.

Could government service be continuation of candlelight movement?
Could government service be continuation of candlelight movement?
Many of my students participated in the candlelight marches two years ago and I remember how articulately they spoke about the changes in Korean society that they envisioned. After graduation, however, many of those students grew discouraged because of the failure of the Korean establishment to reorder the economic and social priorities of the nation to offer their generation...

New importance of humanities in fourth industrial revolution
New importance of humanities in fourth industrial revolution
There has been much talk about the importance of the humanities in this age of rapid technological transformation and we see funding for “digital humanities” programs that provide cutting-edge communications technology that is claimed will revolutionize teaching and will provide online videos that effectively present complex information for any number of viewers around the wo...

The malformed summit
The malformed summit
I must admit that when I stared at the jarring image of the “stars and stripes” in alternation with the “blues and reds” of North Korea I thought for a moment that I need to increase my dosage of antipsychotics. I pinched myself twice, but I simply could not wake out of this dream.
