President Yoon's pro-business promise

With U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to South Korea in the rearview mirror, it is a good time to look at President Yoon Suk-yeol's to-do list, which has many challenges on the political and economic front.

For the children

Listen to the Carpenters' “Bless the Beasts and the Children.” This famous song goes, “Bless the beasts and the children, For in this world they have no voice, They have no choice.” I'm reminded of these words, with the song's sad lamentation, because of several mass shootings in the United States, in particular Robb Elementary, Uvalde, Texas.

Ban nuclear weapons now

Culture, creative sector and pandemic

Creativity suffers under crisis. Cultural activities are important aspects of a society for their contributions to inclusiveness, cultural democracy and nation-building. Performing arts are one such thing. The role of culture in promoting creative wealth, human capital and hence welfare has been discussed at length. However, the severe jolt by the COVID-19 pandemic has been a...

Defending Taiwan may well be test too far

They must lead the unofficial geopolitical loyalty league worldwide. For if there is one country and people in the Asia-Pacific that has logged more miles through mud, jungle and desert to follow the U.S. military almost anywhere, Australia is the one.

Toward an Atlantic Economic Framework

U.S. President Joe Biden came to Korea for a productive official visit just 10 days after the swearing-in ceremony of President Yoon Suk-yeol.
