Eun A Jo, the Director's Fellow in the Reppy Institute and a PhD candidate in government has several articles in South Korea's The Diplomat.

In "The Human Costs of Peace in Korea" she discusses South Korean President Moon Jae-in as he doubles down on his peace initiative, saying North Korean refugees will face greater challenges in the South.

In "A Democratic Response to Coronavirus: Lessons from South Korea," she claims South Korea's success thus far isn't just due to its government. The public itself has been a crucial part of the story.

In "South Korea's experiment in pandemic surveillance" she says that South Korea is a testing ground for how to balance robust surveillance in the name of public health with individual privacy rights.
