This study aims to provide a neo-institutional explanation of why South Korea increasingly intends to share its developmental experience with the rest of the world. South Korea's knowledge sharing projects are the leading example of expansionary and self-defining efforts of its aid administration. By analysing the aid policy-making process, this paper explores the inside dynamics of an emerging donor government - pinpointing why aid bureaucracy stands at the centre of the rise of the knowledge dimension. This research highlights the particular statist developmentalism - as major bureaucratic discourse and momentum behind the aid expansion - that appears to be neither necessarily strategic nor coherent.

To date, climate adaptation has mostly focused on protecting physical assets from potentially catastrophic climatic changes. While the lack of human vulnerability and equity components in adaptation plans and policies has been critiqued by many, this has not yet led to climate adaptation planning and policymaking processes that situates people's health and well-being front and center. This book examines how cities can use a public health frame of climate change to boost people's understanding of and concern about climate change and increase policy support for climate adaptation efforts at the local level. In addition, it aims to strengthen our understanding of different tools cities can use to operationalize a focus on the health implications o]f climate change, enhance collective decision-making capacities, and, ultimately, build human resilience to climate change.

Cet article traite de la question de l'écriture de l'histoire et de la responsabilité par le biais des « femmes de réconfort » contraintes de servir, en Corée et ailleurs, comme esclaves sexuelles aux soldats japonais durant la Première Guerre mondiale. La Corée était alors une colonie du Japon (1910-1945). Or, même après sa libération, le Japon et la Corée du Sud ont mis du temps à reconnaître l'existence des « femmes de réconfort », sans parler de leur présenter des excuses : aucun des deux pays n'a véritablement ou officiellement fait des excuses aux survivantes. Commençant par l'analyse de ce silence politique, l'auteure montre l'émergence de voix de survivantes soutenues par des féministes, ainsi que l'apport de la recherche féministe à la reconstruction de l'histoire des « femmes de réconfort », notamment grâce au travail du Team de Témoignages. Cependant, la question de la responsabilité reste posée puisque, avec le consentement de la Corée du Sud, le Japon n'a toujours pas fait d'excuses officielles, d'une part, et à cause des campagnes récurrentes des révisionnistes japonais, d'autre part.

Published by Reporters Without Borders every year, the Press Freedom Index (PFI) reflects the fear and tension in the newsroom pushed by the government and private sectors. While the PFI is invaluable in monitoring media environ- ments worldwide, the current survey-based method has in- herent limitations to updates in terms of cost and time. In this work, we introduce an alternative way to measure the level of press freedom using media attention diversity compiled from Unfiltered News.

In this work, we reveal the structure of global news coverage of disasters and its determinants by using a large-scale news coverage dataset collected by the GDELT (Global Data on Events, Location, and Tone) project that monitors news media in over 100 languages from the whole world. Significant variables in our hierarchical (mixed-effect) regression model, such as population, political stability, damage, and more, are well aligned with a series of previous research. However, we find strong regionalism in news geography, highlighting the necessity of comprehensive datasets for the study of global news coverage.
