License to die: Life with dignity
The death of Queen Elizabeth II brought condolences from global leaders and people from all walks of life. Her death has prompted the memories of her majestic influence, which finally came to an end after 70 years of her reign. Her legacy will remain strong. Like all others, we will miss her. What makes it sad, though, is that it is only a few months after Great Britain celeb...

Korea should capitalize on soaring dollar
The U.S. dollar has reached near-record highs, including against the Korean won which is down 16 percent over the last 20 months. This makes U.S. imports to Korea more expensive and Korean exports to the U.S. less expensive. Great for American consumers but bad for American workers. And vice versa for Korea.

Complexity of Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has complicated U.S.-Korea relations and spurred accusations by one senior Korean official that the new electric vehicle requirements are a “betrayal.” However, the IRA is also a complex piece of legislation designed significantly to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and reshape supply chains for critical minerals.

Self-reflective Tokyo a must to improve ties with Seoul
In 2018, Seoul's Supreme Court ruled in favor of Korean forced labor victims, saying the Japanese companies, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nippon Steel, were liable for their wartime actions.

Unilateralism is no answer to friendshoring
Unilateralism tends to create more problems than solutions. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a good case in point. Enacted on Aug. 16, the IRA is meant to deal with challenges the U.S. economy is faced with - to fight high inflation, combat climate change and create a 15 percent minimum corporate tax rate. The causes are noble; however, it is centered on investments ...

Hapless Leviathan: a critical look at investor-state dispute settlement
As the month of August drew to a close, it seemed that the long-running dispute between Lone Star, a private equity fund from Texas, and the government of South Korea was finally coming to an end. The international arbitration tribunal established to hear the investor state dispute case brought by Lone Star ordered the Korean government to pay it $216.5 million in damages plu...

Worrying aspects of Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law by U.S. President Joe Biden on Aug. 16. The law has a lot of merits. It is believed to help the U.S. to reduce the deficit. It will help to lower prescription drug prices, which are too high by international standards as I experienced through many years of living in the U.S. Furthermore, it will significantly help to pro...

Korea: shrimp or safety valve between US, China?
World politics is going through a great upheaval. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the latest manifestation of the growing malaise in big power relations. At its center lies the rising rivalry between the United States and China, the world's two most powerful states and leaders of their respective blocs.

Admitting North Korea to 'nuclear club'
James Clapper, a retired air force lieutenant general who served two tours in South Korea and then as President Barack Obama's director of national intelligence from 2010 to 2017, has shocked a virtual forum by asking, rhetorically, if “our policy of demanding North Korean denuclearization is going to work.”
