Culture, creative sector and pandemic

Creativity suffers under crisis. Cultural activities are important aspects of a society for their contributions to inclusiveness, cultural democracy and nation-building. Performing arts are one such thing. The role of culture in promoting creative wealth, human capital and hence welfare has been discussed at length.

Defending Taiwan may well be test too far

They must lead the unofficial geopolitical loyalty league worldwide. For if there is one country and people in the Asia-Pacific that has logged more miles through mud, jungle and desert to follow the U.S. military almost anywhere, Australia is the one.

Toward an Atlantic Economic Framework

U.S. President Joe Biden came to Korea for a productive official visit just 10 days after the swearing-in ceremony of President Yoon Suk-yeol.

More policy support needed for single mothers to save family

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there are approximately 200,000 Korean adoptees who have been placed in multiple countries, and approximately 170,000 of them have been residing in the United States since the late 1950's.
