Security Council carousel
Security Council carousel
By John J. MetzlerUNITED NATIONS ― It’s the annual diplomatic ritual when the 193-member U.N. General Assembly elects five of its members to serve for two-year stints on the powerful Security Council. As can be imagined, the competition is intense to gain real political power and the global limelight on the 15-member Council. The new members are selected by regiona...

Benefits of Chaebol-bashing

The other Cuban Missile Crisis
The other Cuban Missile Crisis
This month is the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis (Oct. 16-28, 1962), so we’re going to hear a great deal about the weeks when the world almost died. But the past is a foreign country, a place where everything was in black-and-white and men still wore hats, so it’s just scary stories about a long-gone time. Or so it seems.

Zambia unsung success story in southern Africa
UNITED NATIONS ― It’s not often that the southern African country of Zambia makes headlines. Fortunately, the country has had none of the military coups, civil conflict, nor political strife which has tragically befallen much of Sub-Saharan Africa. It has however been cursed in the past by the usual state planning and African socialist models which were so pervasive and ult...

Nobel Booby Prize?
Nobel Booby Prize?
Maybe they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union because they couldn’t think of anybody else who wouldn’t embarrass them. Nelson Mandela already has one. So does Aung San Suu Kyi. Even Barak Obama has one, though what for is not exactly clear. They even gave it to Henry Kissinger once, but we probably shouldn’t go into that. So who’s left? We’ll just give it to the...

Asia’s energy trilemma
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently said that energy was the “golden thread” connecting all of the U.N.’s Millennium Development Goals. The solutions to energy challenges would help alleviate other global problems, from poverty and the rights of women to the protection of children.

Why US is heading for ‘emotional isolationism’
LOS ANGELES ― Foreign policy has suddenly surfaced, like a leviathan sea monster, crawling onto the beach of the U.S. presidential campaign. If I were an incumbent American president seeking re-election, I might be worried.

Ahn, Psy and rise of the outsider
Ahn, Psy and rise of the outsider
Two things happened last week that captured the zeitgeist in Korea. One was the announcement by Ahn Cheol-soo, the software entrepreneur, that he was running for president and the other was rapper Psy’s “Gangnam Style’’ breaking the world record for the most liked YouTube video. What connects these two seemingly unrelated events is that both display the appeal of authenticity...
