Korea: Kwangju after one year
Korea: Kwangju after one year
The following is an article on Korea David I. Steinberg sent to The Korea Times for publication in May, 1981, one year after the outbreak of the Kwangju (Gwangju) pro-democracy uprising. The article was unable to be published in Korea at the time because of the political situation. Steinberg is currently the distinguished professor of Asian Studies at Georgetown University an...

In defense of non-visionaries
OXFORD - Many of the recent tributes for Margaret Thatcher following her death celebrated her as a "transformational" leader who brought about great changes.

Global economic doldrums subdue Asian growth
UNITED NATIONS - “Asia-Pacific economies will see subdued growth in 2013 after last year’s sharp slowdown caused by external factors” is the prognosis from a recent U.N. survey. “Economic growth in the developing countries of Asia and the Pacific slowed to 5.5 percent in 2012 as a result of the double-dip recession in the Euro zone and the tepid recovery of the U.S. economy,”...

Can Korea help solve Asia's energy challenge?
The Asian Development Bank recently warned that Asia is heading for a dangerous energy gap. The bottom line is that Asia's enormous energy appetite to fuel its breakneck economic growth carries with it, a lot of unpleasant consequences.

Immigration and Korea as advanced nation
Immigration and Korea as advanced nation
Immigration is an important issue for Korea’s future as an advanced nation. Whether and to what extent South Koreans tolerate and embrace immigration implies something for how they will negotiate one important aspect of the eventual transition for North Korea with reunification.
