Leading for future: policy entrepreneurship
Last was an unforgettable year. The COVID-19 pandemic has left many of us with a great deal of uncertainty. We're all different in how much uncertainty we can tolerate in life. Do our life and work situations look uncertain? Let's be honest. They always are. We need to look within ourselves to find the certainty we need.

Talking about talks with North Korea
Survival under the threat of a North Korean missile strike is like living with the danger of COVID. One takes all precautions, but there's no guarantee anything will work.

Growth likely to prevail despite headwinds
Economic news has been pretty grim lately. The Omicron variant has been seen to be more contagious than the Delta variant, necessitating restrictions and leading to lockdowns globally. Inflation remains high on the back of fiscal expansion, high commodity prices and global supply bottlenecks.

Inflation, supply chain resilience, RCEP and CPTPP
The buzzword in the global economy at the moment is “inflation.” The global economy is projected to grow 4.7 percent in 2022 from 6.1 percent (estimated) in 2021, according to the Morgan Stanley real gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts.

Toward a Lagrange point
As I write this article, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is hurtling through space toward a Lagrange point between the sun and the earth, at a speed of 498.24 meters per second. A Lagrange point is a point of equilibrium for small-mass objects under the influence of two massive orbiting bodies.

COVID-19 gloom shadows world
As the New Year brings hope and possibility for a global reset and renewal, the tragic reality remains that the COVID-19 virus, with all its deadly variants, continues to plague the planet now fully two years after the malady emerged from Wuhan, China. Thus, despite much justified optimism over wider vaccinations, the pandemic has not broken its deadly grip on societies, econ...

Hair loss presidency
As the South Korean elections get closer, one must make allowances for seemingly outrageous promises by candidates vying for last-minute votes. Even by that standard, the policy position by Lee Jae-Myung, the presidential candidate for the ruling progressive party, to cover hair loss treatment under public health insurance was a bold move that captured lots of attention.

Calm down: AI isn't magic, just software
It's easy to get caught up in artificial intelligence (AI) hype. We are bombarded with claims that AI is a transformative technology: more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. In other words, AI is the “Superman” of all technologies, doing things no other technology could ever do.

2022: The year real drama begins
Despite the diplomatic boycott of next month's Winter Olympics in Beijing, led by the United States under President Joe Biden's administration, China will continue to view its human rights issues as a domestic problem, and U.S.-China relations will not be completely derailed. These bilateral relations, which cannot be simply explained as game theory “power politics,” are much...

Inter-Korean prospects in first half of 2022
A new year has begun. When U.S. President Joe Biden was inaugurated in January of last year, there were high expectations of a new opportunity to improve relations with North Korea. Unfortunately, no tangible results were made. However, the uncertainty of the situation on the Korean Peninsula has decreased and a positive atmosphere has been created for the resumption of dialo...
