Very much looking forward to what I hope will be a live discussion at #DarwinCollege this afternoon from 1400. Come early to be assured of your seat.
As #SouthKorea's political drama continues, w/ more testimony @ the country's Constitutional Court, it's a pleasure to be able to announce a roundtable discussion at @Cambridge_Uni @DarwinCollege this Saturday, Feb 8 with 3 young ROK politicians.

Complicated details when it comes to the ongoing impeachment battle in Seoul, but worthwhile unpacking the legal and political challenges ahead
The Globalist: #YoonSukYeol’s trial with @kwaakreports; @JNilssonWright and @hclae on Belgium’s new government; and @Ed_Stocker on Venice’s efforts to keep residents in the city. Plus: papers with @Charles_Hecker and film news with @Krizanovich

Fascinating discussion on a wide range of critical issues, often with some depressingly sobering conclusions. In so many respects, our world, politically, socially and environmentally, feels increasingly fragile.
Full Weekend show today on @bbcworldservice covering the Mid East, US, & more. Come for the news, stay for the good conversation w/ Shaun Ley, @JNilssonWright, & @lewis_halsey

#Yoon’s mid morning arrest, Seoul time, suggests that #SouthKorea’s institutions are robust, but the political crisis continues as conservatives & Yoon himself, argue that the investigative “agencies” have no “authority”. Who will prevail in the court of public opinion?

#SouthKorea’s political turmoil continues. Political norms, such as grounds for impeaching an acting President, remain highly contentious & trust in v short supply as DP accuses now fmr acting Pres Han as backing #Yoon’s martial law coup

Ahead of today’s critical #impeachment vote in #SouthKorea affecting President #Yoon's future, my analysis from a couple of year’s ago may provide some useful historical and contemporary context.

Hard to predict outcome of impeachment vote now that governing PPP has changed its position again to apparently oppose vote, despite earlier statements to the contrary by its leader Han Dong-Hoon that he would vote for impeachment.

What a place to serendipitously pick for lunch. Apparently, two former ROK presidents (Lee Myung-bak & Moon Jae-in) as well as the incumbent (Yoon Seok-Yeol but for how much longer) all ate here:
