Biden and Harris present shaky future for Democrats

In the history of the Watergate scandal of 1972 - arguably the most egregious instance of government corruption in the nation's history - one of the consistent narratives involves the cold political calculation reached by embattled President Richard Nixon that he was shielded from impeachment because Congress was horrified at the prospect of a President Spiro Agnew.

Latin America's new 'pink tide'?

If former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reclaims the post in this October's election (as now seems likely), and if Colombia's leftist presidential candidate, Gustavo Petro, wins in May, their victories would build on a wave that began with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's victory in 2018. After AMLO came victories by Argentinian President Albert...

How insurance industry can be a driver of Korea's green transformation

My seven-year-old daughter recently asked me a big question: what is insurance?

What Russia's invasion means for Korean Peninsula

It is clear now that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be unable to achieve the political objectives he intended, namely, to march into Kyiv and replace Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government with one friendly to the Kremlin. Putin's war may have destroyed much of Ukraine physically, but the unprecedented sanctions and economic isolation are destroying Russi...

US-China relations need 'planetary realism' to avoid geopolitical and ecological apocalypse

I submit for your consideration an American political figure named Jerry Brown. He turns 84 this week but is somehow still flamboyant and relevant, if sometimes slightly annoying. I have not only grown to admire him but come to feel this lifelong politician is becoming an important world figure on the issue of China.

'What's wrong with the world?'

Sometimes, I catch myself, as I explain to 19 and 20-year-olds what life was like before Al Gore invented the internet. “In my day, if you wanted to read an old newspaper, you had to walk over to the library.” I actually said this.

Nam June Paik, climate change and the moon

“We choose to go to the moon” said John F. Kennedy in 1961. In 1969, the United States achieved the first successful Apollo 11 moon landing. And not long ago, Tesla founder Elon Musk announced that he was accepting tourists for his private lunar travel project, “Dear Moon.” Throughout human history and up to the present age, we have looked to the moon as a source of inspirati...

How the West enabled war in Ukraine

Contrary to what Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed, and what political scientists like John Mearsheimer believe, NATO enlargement did not cause Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Nor did a sudden descent into irrationality by Putin, who, starting with his Munich Security Conference speech back in 2007, has long telegraphed his irredentist intentions. The key enabler of ...
