Food aid to North Korea must come with advice

Article Abstract:

The famine that North Korea is facing is a result mainly of its Communist agricultural program, war ammunitions expenses and bad weather. North Korea's propagandists, however, have convinced the US State Department, the UN's World Food Program and US Congressman Tony Hall that US, Japan and South Korea should be responsible for feeding them. North Korea's missile production expenditures and the maintenance of an army of over a million men are factors that also contribute to the sufferings of North Koreans.

Confucian discipline at core of Korean management

Article Abstract:

The Korean philosophy of management is typified by the trial and convictions of the top officials of some of South Korea's biggest conglomerates. Despite Korea's quest to overtake more industrially advanced countries, Koreans still exhibit a Confucian reverence for authority. Korean government officials and corporate executives demand unquestioning obedience from their people. Observers believe that this philosophy spurred Korea's economic and industrial success.

A strange coalition resisting free trade

Article Abstract:

Leftist radicals and right-wing reactionaries are opposing the initiatives of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and free trade in general. They contend that free trade, open markets and globalization are all forms of colonial subjugation of developing countries such as the Philippines. They do not seem to realize, however, that closed markets protect and benefit rich crony industrialists and not the poor workers.
