Two notable developments
When the young May verdant gives way to deeper summer greens in June, many Koreans - particularly older Koreans who remember directly or have indirect memories from stories told by their parents who went through the Korean War - pause to remember.

Envisioning nuclear arms control in challenging times
Envisioning nuclear arms control in challenging times
On Feb. 21, as Russia marked one year of its “special military operations” in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin announced the suspension of Russia's participation in the United States-Russia New START treaty. He stated that its resumption was only possible if the U.S. “cut off support for Ukraine and bring France and the United Kingdom into arms control talks.”

Turkey's pragmatic Islamist
What does President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's election for an unprecedented third term mean for Turkish foreign policy? Not much. In fact, even if the opposition had won, the country's foreign policy would have changed only in style, not in substance. For Turkey, striking a pragmatic balance between its obligations as a member of NATO and its working relations with Russia and Ch...

Supply side of decarbonization
Supply side of decarbonization
You have heard this before: greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are too high to stop catastrophic changes to our climate. Countries, companies, and families must be made aware of the fragility of the planet we live in.

China owes Korea much explanation
China owes Korea much explanation
China is once again on Korea's back. Following President Yoon Suk Yeol's state visit to the U.S. and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to Seoul last month, China did not hesitate to issue a successive warning message that Korea's seemingly values-driven diplomacy is deteriorating already-damaged bilateral relations with Beijing.

Mutual success of Yoon-Kishida partnership will contribute to lasting success of Korea-Japan ties
This year's spring has been a busy time of bilateral diplomacy between South Korea and Japan. In March, South Korean President Yoon Seok Yeol visited Japan to meet Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, marking the first bilateral summit in 12 years. The summit revived shuttle diplomacy between the two heads of state. In early May, Kishida visited South Korea for another summi...

Leveling financial playing field for Africa
Leveling financial playing field for Africa
Africa bears virtually no responsibility for the greenhouse-gas emissions driving the climate crisis. It is not responsible for the conflicts or supply-chain disruptions that have driven global inflation. Nor did it trigger the spread of COVID-19, let alone cause the pandemic's economic fallout.
