China-Japan relations critical to South Korea's post-NATO summit strategic planning

South Korea's NATO initiation got off on the right foot. Korea took the occasion of its first-ever NATO summit attendance on June 29-30 to prove its commitment to becoming a “global pivotal state.” It stood with the members' commitment to the perseverance of universal values and rules-based order with its wholehearted pronouncement of support for Ukraine. It also agreed to fo...

US front in global war on women

The political ructions unleashed in the United States by the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision establishing a federal right to abortion, have been immediate and furious. But less attention has been paid to the international backdrop against which the Court's decision landed. Evidence from around the world points to an increasingly wi...

Combating COVID-19: lessons learned from South Korea

I remember the phone call like it was yesterday - a buzzing ringtone just as I was about to start dinner before heading off to watch the well-acclaimed film, Parasite. It was February 2020 and I was a new resident in Korea.

Digitalization of rural communities leads way to better future

It wasn't that long ago that internet connectivity faded the moment one left a populated area like a city or big town; “no service” was the take-away message back then.

A thaw in China-US diplomatic relations? We can only hope

In Beijing now, even the Biden administration may be singing in a new key. In recent weeks, its new Ambassador Nicholas Burns has posed for countless photo-ops with the relish of a politician hustling for office. For all the seeming Twitter-type superficiality, though, it is quite good to see Washington waving the friendly side of the American flag.

What happens when honest citizens get targeted by fascists

War in Ukraine: lesson on why world should ban nuclear arms

Europe's new war of ideas

Russia's war in Ukraine will bifurcate Europe once again. East will be divided from West, and the frontier between them will likely be a dangerous, militarily secured zone for the foreseeable future.

European security after NATO's Madrid summit

At the end of June, 25 years after Madrid last hosted a NATO summit, the Spanish capital will again be the scene of a new chapter in European security. And Europe, for the most part, will have to be the protagonist. Ultimately, the Alliance's coming gathering must help us Europeans step up and assume our responsibilities with regard to our continent's security. That is the be...

Israel's endless occupation

In the 55 years Israel has been occupying Palestinian lands, there have been two intifadas, four wars in Gaza, and a long series of failed efforts to negotiate a two-state solution roughly adhering to Israel's pre-1967 borders. The situation may truly be as hopeless as it seems.
