As a Korean American undergraduate at Yale, accustomed to regarding Korean minorities as upwardly mobile, she was surprised to learn that the resident Koreans of Japan, known as the Zainichi (meaning “residing in Japan”), occupied the bottom rungs of that country’s socioeconomic ladder. The gap between these two branches…

It uses representations and perceptions of Tsoi from the 1980s to argue that in this period, it was possible to perform the nationalities listed in each Soviet citizen's passport, as well as official …

With the 2003 war in Iraq, the Bush administration made preventive intervention part of United States military policy. In a recent issue of Ethics & International Affairs , Allen Buchanan and Robert Keohane arg…

What's wrong with nuclear proliferation
Nuclear Proliferation and Nuclear Entitlement
The debate over nuclear proliferation has generated a large literature, but this literature does not adequately address the moral issues.

In this essay, Lee addresses the following questions: (1) Does nuclear proliferation make the world a more dangerous place; that is, does it increase security? (2) Is it morally permissible for a nonnuclear state to acquire nuc…
