4 days ago Modern Diplomacy

By DANIELA DE LORENZOIf we are what we eat, as the saying goes, food quality is key to our health. And as food production and trade increase in response to greater global demand, controls on safety and quality have become even more vital.

Historical Issue of Comfort Women and How It Remains a Thorn in Japan – South Korea Relations

The successful invasion of Korea at the hands of Japan can be traced back to 1876 with the Japan Korea treaty. In the successive years the two sides signed 3 more treaties, the Japan Korea Treaty of 1905 (by which Korea became a protectorate of Japan), the Japan Korea Treaty of 1907 (by which Korea was deprived of the administration of internal affairs) and lastly the Japan Korea Treaty of 1910 by which Japan formally annexed Korea. Another reason why Korean women were abducted as comfort women was that while the majority of Korean comfort women were “young and naive,” the majority of Japanese comfort women were “middle-aged, had been prostitutes before they were enlisted, and some suffered from sexual illnesses. In the end, 141 former Korean comfort women received funding from the Korean government, while 61 former Korean comfort women accepted 5 million yen (about $42,000) each from the AWF along with the written apology. Since then, South Korea has built museums and sculptures honoring its comfort women not just in South Korea but also in numerous Korean-dominated areas of the US, like Glendale, California.

War games will take place off Durban between South Africa, China and Russia

Washington’s attempt to curb North Korea’s nuclear ambitions are at a dead end. Or, suggested South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, Seoul might develop its own. That was always pretty far-fetched, but once it definitely fell apart by 2020, a South Korean nuclear debate was likely inevitable. And now the South Korean president has broached the issue too. So South Korean nuclearization need not lead to an alliance rupture unless the US insists on it.

From the Ranch to Hollywood: The origins and cultural development of the cowboy in the U.S.

Origins of the mythThe term cowboy has various origins, and it can be found in many interpretations. Thus the vaquero word (vaca, meaning cow) was created, to describe someone who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. As a result, the Texas cowboy was born, which represented a man who hired on with different outfits from season to season. Particularly in country music, the cowboy image has been represented with an element of glory and mystery. The National Day of The Cowboy, every fourth Saturday in July, recognizes the hardworking symbol of the American West.

The Brunt of Unpaid Care Economy on Women: The Case of South Asia

The hindrance and challenges to trade are massive in case of Pakistan and India. Similarly, with the presence of Economic giant China, the trade goals of South Asian nations are centered upon improving their trade relations with China. India despite of having border issues with China at ‘Line of Actual Control’ has impressively continued its trade relations with the giant. Both the nations have by default developed their trade partners in other nations despite having depth between them.

Is tech industry still a boys’ club?

It says, the tech industry “lags decades behind other industries in its treatment of women.”The big tech is far worse. Snow referred to members of scientific communities as “men of science.” Men are thus at the top of the tech pyramid. Women made up a significant portion of the tech workforce throughout the World War Two and up until the 1960s. While Sweden gets top score in perceptions of gender equality, Norway tops all other nations in terms of income equality. This has been possible as the Nordic nations have established a higher degree of political consensus around issues like social equality and social solidarity.

We have all heard about Bolsonaro’s coup in theory. How about in practice?

Thus the vaquero word (vaca, meaning cow) was created, to describe someone who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. As a result, the Texas cowboy was born, which represented a man who hired on with different outfits from season to season. He has been involved in westerns that have helped shape American cinema, with the most iconic being the movie Stagecoach (1939), a typical representation of the American West. Particularly in country music, the cowboy image has been represented with an element of glory and mystery. The National Day of The Cowboy, every fourth Saturday in July, recognizes the hardworking symbol of the American West.

2022 U.S. Nuclear Posture Review and the Future of Global Arms Control

The golden age of arms control, however, proved to be more short-lived than many expected. Consequently, the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review by the Trump administration accented Washington’s reliance on nuclear deterrence and modernization while sounding cynical about arms control. The document recognizes the significance of arms control to reduce nuclear dangers, without failing to mention that Russian and Chinese blueprints to expand their nuclear arsenal make arms control “challenging”. The reason could not be more obvious: the absence of arms control between the two great nuclear powers would likely result in a new era of the nuclear arms race. Given that Russia and the US have a history of arms control talks and treaties, apart from the recent surge in hostility, the prospects of arms control between the two countries are bright.

ASEAN States ‘well-placed’ to advance human rights, freedoms and a strong global economy

However, many believe that the country will use nuclear power for military purposes, including the production of nuclear weapons. Hundreds of leaked secret documents and other evidence from former Myanmar military major Sai Thein Win testify to this. He provided pictures of equipment used to convert uranium compounds for use in nuclear fuel or nuclear weapons. Myanmar’s nuclear weapons are in violation of the Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Protocol. The Myanmar junta has warned against ASEAN’s efforts to set a time limit for peace in Myanmar.
