Establish a South-North dialog about reviving Korea's traditions
Establish a South-North dialog about reviving Korea's traditions
Just about everyone has assumed that the ideological divisions between North and South Korea are so great that any discussion of political ideology or governance will be so divisive that it must be studiously avoided. Instead, it is assumed, the focus must fall on neutral issues like trade and investment. This is a terribly outdated assumption.

Pompeo in Pyongyang
Pompeo in Pyongyang
Perhaps you watched the forced smiles on the faces of President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as they exchanged words with Kim Yong-chol, vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, on the grounds of the White House. Or perhaps you observed how Trump first told the press that he had read the personal letter delivered to him from Ki...

A meaningful plan for North Korea's development
A meaningful plan for North Korea's development
We must feel sympathy for the North Korean government officials suddenly faced with slick corporate operators from Koch Industries, or elsewhere, who come in to overwhelm them with gaudy presentations, to bribe them and to do everything in their power to get them to hand over the keys to their resources so they can be exploited for the benefit of investors who will never step...

The Sleepwalkers reach a fork in the road
The Sleepwalkers reach a fork in the road
When the Trump administration illegally threw away the nuclear agreement with Iran, usurping the authority of congress, not to mention those silly little people called the “citizens of the United States,” and then it went on to openly support the brutal killing of unarmed protesters in Jerusalem with high-powered weapons by Israeli military/police forces, many thought we had ...

From the prison cells of Guantanamo Bay to Embassy in Seoul
Admiral Harry Harris, commander of the US Pacific Command in Hawaii, was slated to startwork as ambassador to Australia this month. Suddenly, out of the blue, the Trump White House announced on April 24 that Harris would be assigned to South Korea.

The rise in fine dust in Korea and the collapse of governance
Koreans have been bombarded over the past few weeks with non-stop news reports about the responses of former presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye to the criminal charges they face for corruption. Although those individuals should be held responsible for their actions, one has to wonder whether the personal self-serving actions of those politicians are the most critical ...

Upcoming South-North summit and its true potential
Upcoming South-North summit and its true potential
South Koreans find themselves in a period of rapid geopolitical change that is pushing them to the very limits of their ability to comprehend and to respond. The situation is made more serious by the general lethargy, and lack of creativity, in government and in industry that has set in over the past decade of conservative rule.

Fukuyama on how youth should respond to current challenges

Focusing on Korea's true security challenges before, and after, the South-North summit
Focusing on Korea's true security challenges before, and after, the South-North summit
The strategy behind the South-North summit meetings cannot be progressive. We have gone too far in the rhetoric of confrontation and the literal preparations for war. Unlike previous summits, the talk cannot be focus only on reopening the Gumgang Mountain Tourist Park, or allowing meetings of separated families.

Seoul: A tale of two cities
Seoul: A tale of two cities
On an overcast February afternoon in 1991 my Korean Airlines flight landed at the dreary Gimpo Airport, and I first set foot in Seoul. The rice and vegetables in a bowl that were accompanied with a toothpaste tube full of red hot paste had simply been mysterious. The Koreans' clothing looked quaintly like something out the early 1970s. The ties looked garish and the collars w...
