Axis of Intolerance
Right Across the World
In a post-Trump world, the right is still very much in power. Significantly more than half the world’s population currently lives under some form of right-wing populist or authoritarian rule. Today’s autocrats are, at first glance, a diverse band of brothers. But religious, economic, social and environmental differences aside, there is one thing that unites them - their hatred of the liberal, globalised world. This unity is their strength, and th…
Aftershock
'A brisk, vivid and wide-ranging survey of a region in the grip of neoliberalism. As Feffer makes clear, this is hardly just a book about Eastern Europe, as the challenges there now seem to be spreading throughout the world. Feffer's sense of the future evinces both pessimism of the mind and optimism of the will.'
The Collapse of Europe? What Next after Greece
Japan
In the early 1990s, the Japanese military adopted a cute mascot by the name of Prince Pickles. He's a little guy with a big head and big eyes who lives in a tranquil country bordering on some pretty dangerous territory. In three action-packed comic books aimed at young people, Prince Pickles overcomes his naïve belief that a land at peace needs no army. He enlists in his own country's forces to defend against the predations of the neighboring Evi…
North Korea, Japan and the Abduction Narrative of Charles Robert Jenkins
In the 1960s, a subculture of Americans became obsessed with alien abductions. Their ur-narrative revolved around the experience of Betty and Barney Hill, a sober, middle-aged, interracial couple who told of being taken from their car one night in 1961 and subjected to medical investigation by extraterrestrials with small bodies and large foreheads. They were not the type to fabulize simply to draw attention to themselves, so their story attracte…
Mother Earth's Triple Whammy. North Korea as a Global Crisis Canary
Gas prices are above $4 a gallon; global food prices surged 39% last year; and an environmental disaster looms as carbon emissions continue to spiral upward. The global economy appears on the verge of a TKO, a triple whammy from energy, agriculture, and climate-change trends. Right now you may be grumbling about the extra bucks you're shelling out at the pump and the grocery store; but, unless policymakers begin to address all three of these tren…
Hidden Asia Pacific Arms Race. Six Countries Talk Peace While Preparing for War
Fifty-five years after the armistice that halted, but failed to formally end, the Korean War, many diplomats are optimistic that the nuclear standoff with North Korea can be resolved as a first step toward a peace treaty and restoration of US-North Korea relations. Some leaders and scholars are even urging the transformation of the Six-Party Talks over the Korean nuclear issue, involving the United States, Japan, China, Russia, and the two Koreas…
Hardliners Target Detente with North Korea
The Bush administration's approach to North Korea was once quite consistent with its overall foreign policy. There was name calling, a preference for regime change and an emphasis on military solutions. Unsurprisingly, the relationship between the United States and North Korea, like so many other tense standoffs, deteriorated over the last seven years. The U.S. accused the third member of the "axis of evil" of money-laundering, missile sales and …
Japan Must Prepare for War Between U.S. and North Korea. North Korea's Nuclear Threat
Japan Focus introduction: Once the closest U.S. ally on North Korean issues, Japan is now feeling alone and isolated. The Bush administration has reversed its stance toward Pyongyang and appears to be on the verge of removing the country from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. China and South Korea are racing to invest money into North Korea. Russia backs both inter-Korean engagement and North Korea's integration into the global economy. Still…
Japan's Korean Residents Caught in the Japan-North Korea Crossfire
The Asahi Shinbun and the International Herald Tribune recently published a five-part series on Korean residents in Japan. Many of these zainichi - the word literally means "residing in Japan" - have lived in the country for two, three and even four generations. Having been deprived of the Japanese citizenship that they obtained under colonial rule in the years 1910-1945, the 600,000 zainichi are those Korean residents who have not become natural…
Sanctions and the Road to War in Korea
The risk of war on the Korean peninsula remains high, and the U.S. government is raising it higher by opening an economic front. In September 2005, one day after regional negotiations produced an agreement with the potential to defuse North Korean-U.S. tensions, the U.S. government charged North Korea with counterfeiting $100 bills. Calling this alleged North Korean effort a direct attack on U.S. sovereignty and technically an act of war, Washing…

Human Rights in North Korea and the U.S. Strategy of Linkage
Though it would be difficult to find anyone in the United States who would praise North Korea for its dismal human rights record, this consensus by no means extends to practical foreign policy. In other words, there is broad agreement on what is wrong in North Korea, from the political labor camps to the lack of basic freedoms of speech and assembly, but little agreement on what to do about it or who should be doing it
North Korean Famine, Refugees, and International Aid
What are the causes and consequences of North Korea's extended famine of recent years? Though it is not blessed with plentiful arable land or a consistently temperate climate, North Korea has long tried to feed itself and avoid dependence on the outside world. Food security represents, for the government in Pyongyang, a very concrete expression of juche, or self-reliance. Though such a policy has meant that one-third of the population remains rur…
North Korea and the International Politics of Famine
Access to food is a basic human right. For several decades, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) prided itself on meeting the food needs of its population, although it has little arable land. Like many socialist countries, North Korea emphasized this success-along with high literacy rates, an equitable health care system, and guaranteed jobs for all-as proof that it upheld human rights, that its record in fact exceeded that of Western…
Writers From the Other Asia
According to the official North Korean version, the Americans were the culprits. In October 1950, the first year of the Korean War, American soldiers massacred tens of thousands of innocent people in the North Korean city of Sinchon. In perhaps the most horrifying incident, US soldiers led 900 residents, including 300 women and children, into an airraid shelter. After the victims passed three days in thirst and fear, the GIs poured gasoline into …
North Korea and the politics of engagement
In its policy toward North Korea, the U.S. government has vacillated between extremes. During the early 1990s, the U.S nearly went to war with North Korea over its nuclear program. Then, after stepping away from the brink in 1994, U.S. policy swung to the side of engagement. As a result of the 1994 Agreed Framework, the Clinton administration embarked on the unprecedented program, partnered by Japan and South Korea, of building two nuclear energy…
