A new era
A new era
Advances in technology have always transformed military doctrine and have influenced developments in the law of armed conflict to constrain how conflict is waged. This can be seen in particular in the rules of the Geneva Conventions which prohibit the use of weapons that cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering. 100 days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are ...

Is US going soft on China?
Is US going soft on China?
After almost one-and-a-half years in power, the Joe Biden administration has finally divulged the basic contours of its strategic intent toward China. On May 26, while addressing a session organized by the Asia Society at the campus of George Washington University, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a rather comprehensive insight into the current thinking in the Whit...

Russia's path to premodernity
Russia's path to premodernity
That was in 1829. The “riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,” as Winston Churchill described Russia more than a century later, is no closer to being solved today. The philosopher John Gray recently wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin “is the face of a world the contemporary Western mind does not comprehend.

Korea's three E's - education, economy, entertainment
As an observer of Korea for the last 57 years, I have seen momentous changes. The first we should talk about is the economy and rightly so, for the Korea that I first knew in 1965 was desperately poor - $125/year/per capita income. Aid from the United States was equal to native GNP - incredible! We have seen the economy take off. Younger people haven't seen it, but they've re...

Longing for higher power and spiritual values
Nothing is certain but death. People increasingly respond to their deepest human needs. We have a natural need to feel connected to the world, to others and religious traditions. Anthropology, philosophy or neuroscience can't simply answer the question of whether a higher power really exists. We tend to look for patterns, structures and causes for everything. But there is no ...

China's Great Wall of public-health distrust
China's Great Wall of public-health distrust
China's urban populations have been enduring some of the most intense infection-prevention measures of the COVID-19 pandemic. For 60 straight days, Shanghai's 27 million residents were forced into a strict lockdown - and they were not alone. During the peak of the Omicron BA.2 wave in April and May, 45 cities with a total of 373 million people were under some sort of lockdown...

Overcoming the colonial past
Can we really be sure Korea's relations with Japan are improving under the newly installed conservative government? The answer is we can't be sure of anything. We can only hope they can work together in the context of trilateral cooperation

Global supply disruption and Korea
The pandemic had raised questions about the world's reliance on an economic model that has broken trade barriers but made countries heavily reliant on each other as production was de-localized.

Korea-India strategic partnership: toward a new dynamic
Korea-India strategic partnership: toward a new dynamic
Nowhere in any region of the world are there as complex a maze of conflict-prone situations, policies and initiatives that intersect at cross purposes as they appear in the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Indian Ocean and their allies' relationships with its neighbors and extended neighborhood.

How to sell climate action to Africa
How to sell climate action to Africa
There is a well-known story about two footwear salesmen who traveled to Africa in the early 20th century to look for new markets. Within days of arriving, the first salesman concluded that there was no potential for shoe sales because everyone was barefoot. His colleague, by contrast, saw a huge untapped market to explore.
