Eight lessons from Ukraine war
Eight lessons from Ukraine war
When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, he envisaged a quick seizure of Kyiv and a change of government analogous to Soviet interventions in Budapest in 1956 and Prague in 1968. But it wasn't to be. The war is still raging, and no one knows when or how it will end.

Facebook needs makeover
Facebook needs makeover
Meta Platforms, until October 2021 known as Facebook, is in turmoil. Infamous for its commitment to employing H-1B workers, and simultaneously undermining qualified U.S. tech workers' careers, the Silicon Valley titan is finally getting its just rewards.

Best timing for Korean cinema to leap forward
The film industry was one of the sectors hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing guidelines prevented a large number of people from gathering at indoor places, and this directly meant theaters could not admit enough moviegoers to makes ends meet. The guidelines also gave people the impression that theaters were not safe from virus infection.

China's anxieties over Korea joining Indo-Pacific framework
China's anxieties over Korea joining Indo-Pacific framework
President Yoon Suk-yeol initiated his first foreign policy maneuver by announcing that Korea will join the Indo-Pacific Economic Forum (IPEF). His announcement came about a week after he took office on May 10 and much earlier than when the IPEF was officially launched on May 23. The Korean public was in awe, fearing possible retaliatory action by China.

Rules-based international order
On the eve of the summit between President Yoon Suk-yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden on May 21, I submitted through this column three points Yoon should focus on during the upcoming summit. I suggested that Yoon focus on the common values underlying the alliance. I also suggested that the two presidents must have substantial discussions on how to deal with North Korea's deve...

Korea's advanced industry success story
Nations are in a fierce win-lose competition for global market share in advanced, traded-sector technology industries, because winning enables not only prosperity, but economic and national security - especially for allied nations where China's gain often comes at their loss.

Key to renormalizing US-Cuba relations
Key to renormalizing US-Cuba relations
The Summit of the Americas shined a spotlight on how much has changed since U.S. President Joe Biden was last in the White House. Since January 2017, Venezuela has become a failed state, and migration from Central America has fueled political polarization in the United States. Brazil elected a tropical version of Donald Trump as president, and Mexico elected a left-wing popul...

Korea's dead-end birthrate
Probably the biggest challenge that Korea will face over the coming decades will be its demographic crisis, with a super-low birthrate and rapidly aging population. Analysts warn that Korea's shrinking population could have serious implications for the economy and national security.

Harsh consequences of hubris before nemesis
In ancient Greek mythology, Nemesis was a goddess who meted out retribution to those who succumb to hubris, before the gods. Classic traits of hubris are identified as arrogance and contempt for others' opinions, often resulting from a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities. The outcome of the local election...

Rio Conference on Sustainable Development
Rio Conference on Sustainable Development
When asked how we should treat others, the Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi, is said to have replied: “There are no others." This truth was affirmed ten years ago when the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development convened in Rio de Janeiro from June 20 to 22, 2012. Unlike earlier international gatherings, there were no “we” and “they” there; what emerged at Rio was a ...
