- Abstract
- The Republic of Korea (the RoK) has been dubbed “the Asian dragon” in recent decades thanks to its marvelous economy and technological development since the 1970s. One of the RoK’s most effective driving force for development and gaining outstanding achievements is education, to which the forces Resource Education Strategy has been applied successfully. The RoK government is well aware of the importance of human factors, so they have been confident in generating investments in education and finally turning the Korean intellectual economy into a “dragon”. In particular, the RoK has constantly reorganized ideas in education such as adjusting policies, content, models, and methods of education; paying attention to education from the universal to talent development, and building abundant human resources that could even fulfill the great demands from abroad. The RoK has demonstrated that it is successful in fostering human resources, creating human resources, training talent, improving intellectual standards, and ensuring stable economic development. Such a lesson deserves to be analyzed and studied. Vietnam has started educational development as one of the essential requirements of modernizing the country in the last three decades. Successful lessons from surrounding countries have been and will be an advantage for Vietnam, and from these lessons it is impossible not to mention the RoK model. This historical process has witnessed a significant contribution of Korea-Vietnam relations to the development of both countries. The RoK’s experience in human resource education strategy can make a significant contribution to the current higher education reform in Vietnam, if it is well evaluated and alternatively applied. It is mainly the high-quality human resources that generate power for the RoK industrialization and modernization, so there must always be a similar pathway for Vietnam

- Abstract
- This research examines the preference structure for economic growth vs. environmental
protection among Indonesians. For this purpose, we employed data from the fourth wave of the Asian Barometer Survey. In contrast to the conventional wisdom, we found that Indonesians prefer environmental protection to economic growth. We further identified that religiosity, ethnicity, and rural development are associated with the individual survey respondent’s preference pattern.

- Abstract
- Improvement of access to energy in Africa is only plausible if there is an implementation of renewable energy technologies. This study focuses on renewable energy sources in Tanzania. There are several projects that are ongoing by the government and stakeholders all over the country to improve access to renewable energy technologies. However, there are some hindrances to the energy development programs that have been identified and discussed in this review. Hydropower is the largest supplier of energy in Tanzania and constitutes over 70% of the total energy distribution in the country. However, with a centralized national grid, it is inconvenient to locals living in rural areas. Solar energy comes second, but its challenges are due to its expense and locals lack of awareness of the technology. Biofuel is another promising sector since the country is a more agriculturally-based economy, hence plenty of raw materials for energy production. Several energy policies have also been implemented to ensure efficient energy development in
Tanzania. The policies considered environmental conservation, accessibility and affordability, and marketing and awareness programs. Overall all these implementations are to boost energy production that will boost the economy of Tanzania.

- Abstract
- An ancient practice, sexual violence has long been associated with the consequences of armed conflict and often naturally occurs as incredulously as pillaging and looting have always been. This paper looks at the phenomenon of conflict-related sexual violence and how its conceptualization has evolved in both public consciousness and human rights praxis in the last decade. Through a case study of conflicts in Eastern D.R. Congo, Northern Nigeria and Iraq we trace the impact of group level factors in influencing targeting mechanisms in sexual violence during armed conflicts. Through this cross-national case study, we are able to provide a critical analysis of how the confluence of social, economic and political factors create opportunities to perpetuate sexual violence in conflicts. A key factor here is the scope of the variation in the cases selected for this study. Such an analysis is imperative if we are to understand the circumstances behind these variations and ultimately how they can be addressed.
