Trump's embrace of the North Korean model
Trump's embrace of the North Korean model
Intellectuals in Beijing, including foreigners like Daniel Bell, have been promoting an approach to governance founded on meritocracy that they claim offers a viable alternative to the Western approach to development that insists on free markets and democratic elections. This “China Model” has drawn much attention because of China's economic success, and imitations springing ...

Bring United Nations headquarters to Korea
Bring United Nations headquarters to Korea
The Trump administration's decision to reduce drastically the U.S. contribution to the United Nations was generally interpreted as payback after the stunning rebuke to the American decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

'Ash or Steam?'
'Ash or Steam?'
A meditation on nuclear war and climate changeBy Emanuel Pastreich Some say our world will end in warSome say it has a steamy fateFrom what glimpsed in man’s coreI go with those who fear for warBut indifference to our children’s’ fateIs, in its own way, cruel as hateSo horrific what lies in storeThe hour being lateThat doom requires nothing more

Being asked for money on Christmas
Being asked for money on Christmas
It is perhaps one of the most hackneyed sermons that is regularly delivered by ministers on Christmas and it starts out with the words “what would Jesus say?” The sermon typically enumerates the sins of materialism and superficiality and demonstrates how they have reduced Christmas to a celebration of the senses and an indulgence of the ego.

Prepare for North Korean terror in Gangnam
Prepare for North Korean terror in Gangnam
There has been a lot of hot rhetoric in Washington, D.C. and Seoul about how Trump and a pumped up U.S.-Korea alliance are going to “take care of” Pyongyang. But I fear that the thinking is fuzzy, if not delusional. North Korea, with extensive underground facilities built over the last fifty years, cannot be stopped by either a precision attack, or an all-out assault. Even if...

Do Korean universities teach economics?
Do Korean universities teach economics?
Almost all of my undergraduate students take courses in economics and I greatly envy them for it. Sadly, I never had a chance to study economics as an undergraduate myself and do not consider myself to be qualified in the field.

Xi and ecological civilization movement
Xi and ecological civilization movement
Koreans worry that the conflict between the United States and China will force them to choose between a military ally and their most important economic partner. Although this view of the current situation is accurate, it is only part of the problem. In fact, Korea is also faced with a profound choice about how it defines economics and the future of civilization itself. The re...

Missing old Chuseok
Missing old Chuseok
This Chuseok holiday will be my 10th since I started working in Korea, but in fact I first joined a Korean family for the annual autumn gathering back in 1995, soon after my arrival in Korea for one year of Korean language study. Over the last 10 years Chuseok has changed as an experience in my wife’s family, as it has for many Korean families.

Would nuclear weapons make us safer?
Would nuclear weapons make us safer?
It has become popular for Korean businessmen and bureaucrats to argue that Korea needs to have its own nuclear weapons in order to assure its security. The change in thinking has been aided by a series of high-profile editorials in the Korean media, including editorials by moderate thinkers, advocating for the option of South Korean nuclear weapons as part of a general milita...

The coming chaos on Korean Peninsula
The coming chaos on Korean Peninsula
Korean newspapers were filled with reports of the unprecedented drought that did such damage to local agriculture over the last month leaving reservoirs bone dry. The Korea Meteorological Administration noted in May that total precipitation was just 161.1mm, the second-lowest since statistics started being kept in 1973. But the Korean media has hardly a word to say about the ...
