Kim Jong-un's decade in power
“North Korea as we know it is over. Whether it comes apart in the next few weeks or over several months, the regime will not be able to hold together after the untimely death of its leader, Kim Jong-il.”
2021-12-26 17:00
Korea's bumpy road to green energy
Korea faces a difficult challenge in meeting its ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which it promised in relation to this month's holding of the 26th U.N. Climate Change conference, COP 26.
2021-11-29 16:42
Time to ease sanctions
One of the main criticisms of the U.N. sanctions against North Korea is that they hamper the delivery of humanitarian aid. The U.N.'s human rights expert on North Korea appeared to acknowledge this fact when he said recently that U.N. sanctions should be eased as the country faces a potential food crisis.
2021-11-01 17:10
Inter-Korean arms race
The past month has seen an escalating inter-Korean arms race with both Koreas testing their most advanced military systems.
2021-10-04 13:12
North Korea's vaccine problem
North Korea surprised the world last week when it said that it was rejecting an offer by COVAX, the U.N.-supported global vaccine distribution program, to provide around 3 million doses of China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine.
2021-09-06 17:00
Pragmatism over principle
It is often the case of “damned if you do, damned if you don't” when it comes to the punishment of crooked corporate bosses in Korea.
2021-08-23 17:15
Joining the WFH bandwagon
Having worked with several Korean companies over the years, I have come to the conclusion that their management practices are harming the country's development. The combination of a strict hierarchy based on seniority, autocratic bosses, long work hours (including mandatory after-work drinking sessions) and a top-down management style can be partly blamed for social ills such as the low female participation in the workforce, falling birthrate and high cost of living in Seoul.
2021-07-26 17:00
Climate change and two Koreas
President Moon Jae-in has signaled recently that he wants Korea to play a more prominent role on the global stage when it comes to climate change. He has already promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions and is expected to announce later this year a more ambitious target to curb them in an effort to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
2021-07-12 17:06
Slavery in Korea
The U.S. earlier this month established Juneteenth, which commemorates the ending of slavery in 1865, as a new national holiday. The move had broad bipartisan support despite increased political polarization and reflected growing public interest in the lasting impact of slavery on the U.S.
2021-06-28 17:00
Sinophobia
Much attention in Washington is often given to the fraught relations between Korea and Japan due to its national security implications for the U.S. in Northeast Asia. Surprisingly, less attention is being paid among U.S. commentators to the unfavorable views that Koreans have about China, which could help the U.S. agenda in containing expansionist moves by Beijing.
