Aid as transnational social capital: Korea’s official development assistance in higher education / Moon, Rennie J   Journal Article
Moon, Rennie J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In this paper, we explore a new framework for higher education official development assistance (ODA) with a focus on the transnational bridging benefits of social capital. We first explain why and how a transnational social capital approach can improve the current focus on human resources and local bridges in higher education development. We then illustrate its merits by examining, 1) the transnational bridging potential of social capital formed by foreign students currently studying in Korea; and 2) the actual transnational social capital contributions of foreign professionals who returned home after completing a Korean higher education ODA program. In doing so, we direct particular attention to the value of transnational social capital in promoting development cooperation and public diplomacy. We conclude by discussing how our approach has conceptual importance and practical implications for development cooperation in higher education.

North Korea in 2017 : closer to being a nuclear state / Shin, Gi-Wook ; Moon, Rennie J   Journal Article
Shin, Gi-Wook Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Kim Jong Un continued to consolidate his power through personnel changes, and North Korean society saw increasing consumerism, along with signs of growing inequality. The economy did well through early 2017 but the subsequent effects of sanctions remained uncertain. North Korea conducted its first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile and its sixth nuclear test, triggering heated debate in the US and elsewhere about how to respond. Kim clearly is not going to give up working on weapons of mass destruction.
