After victory, Lula faces massive challenges
Jair Bolsonaro, a typical populist leader, was not expected to cool down so quickly after his defeat in the second round of the Brazilian presidential elections. It was being anticipated that he would not accept his defeat calmly and that his supporters would resort to a massively violent agitation.

Too poor for war
Too poor for war
A wartime economy is inherently a shortage economy: because the government needs to direct resources toward manufacturing guns, less butter is produced. Because butter must be rationed to make more guns, a war economy may lead to an inflationary surge that requires policymakers to cut civilian consumption to reduce excess demand.

Korean Weltschmerz
It was the mid-1990s. It was the first time that I ever went to Korea by myself. It was right after college graduation, and I hadn't been back to Korea since I had left when I was nine years old. Since my family didn't go to church, I hadn't even had a lot of contact with Korean Americans while growing up. But there is something akin to a pilgrimage for a Korean American in w...

2050 Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth kicks off
On Oct. 26, the Presidential Commission on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth officially started its work. Unlike its predecessors, the National Council on Climate and Air Quality and the Carbon Neutrality Committee, the commission has its foundation under the Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth for Coping with Climate Crisis, which came into force last March....

COP27 is about Africa and action
COP27 is about Africa and action
After last November's United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26), Egypt took the COP baton from the United Kingdom, and now it is hoped that COP27, already hailed as “the first COP for Africa,” will also be a “COP for Action.” I believe these two concepts - delivering pragmatic climate action and putting Africa at the heart of the global climate debate - are ...

Going nuclear wouldn't be without costs
Should South Korea acquire its own nuclear weapons? This question tends to arise periodically whenever Pyongyang significantly ups the pace of its nuclear and ballistic missile tests. With North Korea growing increasingly provocative with its ballistic missile tests and adopting a policy that allows for preemptive nuclear strikes, it is not surprising that the issue has surfa...

Establishing North Korean human rights foundation for both Koreas
Since the current government came to power, discussions about creating a North Korean human rights foundation have been rekindled. The North Korean Human Rights Act was narrowly enacted in 2016 when the ruling and opposition parties finally reached an agreement, after repeated proposals and rejections over the previous 11 years. According to Article 10 of the act, the governm...

Netanyahu's Pyrrhic victory
Netanyahu's Pyrrhic victory
Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud-led bloc of Jewish supremacists, messianic nationalists, and ultra-Orthodox theocrats has won Israel's general election after suffering four consecutive defeats in less than four years. None of these elections was about ideology or policies, but rather about Netanyahu's own fitness to serve as prime minister. Netanyahu succeeded this time for two re...

Beware of tech principles in sheep's clothing
In the last few years, a growing movement has advocated “responsible” technology development and use, particularly for artificial intelligence. With monikers like “human-centered AI” and “responsible technology” these sound, as we say in America, like “motherhood and apple pie.” Who can be against human-centered and responsible technology?

Afraid of missing out on Veterans Day?
Murphy's Law being what it is, whether you're talking about a surprise party, a romantic getaway or visiting an acquaintance in the hospital, good intentions don't always pan out. The same goes for the intention to carry out a proper observation of Veterans Day.
