Mr Cavallo caused a political storm in August when he said mafiosi were entrenched in the upper reaches of government and state bodies. But the jobless figure has spiralled to a record 18.6 per cent.On the recent feast day of St Cayetano, patron saint of work, more than a million people filed through the St Cayetano church outside Buenos Aires to beseech the saint for jobs. Some had camped out for a week to get a place in line.The jobless rate threatens Mr Menem’s economic successes of the past five years, bringing the economy to its most sensitive point since it floundered in the wake of last December’s Mexican financial crisis.Uncertainty over the future of the Economy Minister, Domingo Cavallo, architect of much of the recent successes, has also caused jitters among domestic and foreign investors who fear economic instability were he to go.

“The people are fed up.”The vote of discontent in the capital followed a series of provincial riots this summer, notably in Cordoba and San Juan provinces, some by the unemployed but mostly by public sector workers who had not been paid in months.When he was re-elected in May, Mr Menem pledged to “pulverise unemployment the way we pulverised inflation”. The Peronist candidate, Antonio Erman Gonzalez, a former economics and defence minister under Mr Menem, was left a humiliating third behind Jorge Vanossi of the Radicals, who won 22.5 per cent.”This will teach those who said there was no way to get at Menem,” said Ms Meijide, a leading human rights campaigner. The centre-left opposition Frepaso alliance won the influential Senate seat for the capital, Buenos Aires, at the weekend.The overwhelming victory by Frepaso’s candidate, Graciela Fernandez Meijide, with more than 50 per cent of the vote to only 21 per cent for Mr Menem’s Peronist candidate, was seen as reflecting disquiet over rampant unemployment and reports of official corruption. The spokesman for the consortium in Baku, Einar Bergh, said Turkey was still favoured. “[The consortium] feels that when it comes to the main oil production, the main loading point should be Ceyhan.”.

President Carlos Menem of Argentina has suffered his worst political setback since he was re-elected in May.

It may also attract interest from new producers of oil in central Asia, who are having trouble exporting through Russia’s creaking system.The early oil is not expected to exceed 80,000 barrels per day. But the main pipeline will be able to carry up to 700,000 barrels per day, and a final decision on its route is due in 1997. There is genuine resentment that the 10 million people of Istanbul should be exposed to several more supertankers coming through the Bosphorus The proposed Ceyhan route would bypass the Black Sea. Russia has proposed a by-pass line through Bulgaria and Greece to the Aegean, but few believe it would be economic.Even if only a little of the “early oil” passes through the Georgian pipeline, Turkey is confident that other companies prospecting in Azerbaijan may use it.

We should try to make oil run through that line as soon as possible,” wrote Ferai Tinc, foreign editor of Hurriyet “We will get the right to say: ‘Look, we stood by our word. Now you stand by yours, and put the main pipeline through to Ceyhan [a Turkish oil terminal on the Mediterranean].’ “Turkish suspicions of ill intent led one newspaper to brand the BP pipeline consortium chief as “Lawrence of the Caucasus”, but Mr Sanberk and a consortium spokesman in Baku stressed that there was now no difference of opinion between Turkey and BP.Turkey is not just after oil transit fees and regional influence. Turkish contractors are also well placed to start construction quickly, even if Georgia placates Russia with a share in that pipeline too.”We should not give up It depends on Turkish determination. The Chechens are threatening to blow up the Russian northern route to the port of Novorossisk. The southerly route favoured by Turkey, which requires substantial new pipelaying, goes through unstable Georgia to Batumi, close to Turkey’s Black Sea border.To attract the consortium, Turkey offered to finance the upgrading of the Georgian line and to buy all the oil delivered through it. That helped Mr Aliyev to resist pressure from Russia that included a trade embargo and, allegedly, meddling in the Nagorny Karabakh conflict.Russia’s blunt suppression of Chechen independence last December – perhaps partly to secure the Russian oil pipeline route through Grozny – helped persuade the US of the need to diversify away from full-scale support for Moscow.Even so, both pipeline routes run through geopolitical minefields.

The opening of the latest Walt Disney blockbuster, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is being seen in the film industry as a successful riposte by the world’s leading animation studio to the hi-tech cinematics now challenging its supremacy. Disney appears convinced there is still a market for traditional animation, despite the success of Toy Story, with its 3D computer-generated images.
Yet even Disney has a finger on the software pulse. It now has 16.7 per cent of the market, much to the detriment of the West: in May this year, three major European shipyards announced they were to close.Taekwondo is the most famous traditional martial art of Korea; it is to be an official Olympic sport from the Sydney Olympics in 2000.. The main brands, Hite and Caas, go for around pounds 3.40 a bottle at London’s Shilla restaurant in Great Marlborough Street, W1.Korean-American novelist Chang-rae Lee made a solid critical impression last year with Native Speaker, the story of a Korean-American in New York.Korean piano-maker Young Chang produces a range of inexpensive but hard- wearing instruments, used by the Royal Academy of Music for student practice.Fifteen Korean banks have established branches in the City of London, among them the Korea Exchange Bank, the Korea Development Bank, the KorAm Bank and the Korea First Bank.Korea continues to increase its share of the world’s shipbuilding market.

As with other Asian cuisines, rice is the staple, and is accompanied by a number of side dishes. Kimchi, a highly seasoned fermented vegetable dish, is the best known among foreigners, while most commonly used vegetables are radishes, Chinese cabbage, garlic, hot pepper and leeks.Predictably perhaps, Korean beer is now finding its way to British shores. From early 1997 it plans to produce fax machines, colour display tubes and personal computers, but in its home country, the company also builds roads, runs hotels, operates telecom networks, processes foods and owns newspapers.In Manchester and London in particular, the Korean restaurant business is thriving. Last year Daewoo sold around 13,000 cars in the UK, its most popular model being the Nexia.Samsung, the world’s 14th biggest company, manufactures microwave ovens and PC monitors in the UK. Don’t write in red ink, which conveys hostility.TEN WAYS SOUTH KOREA HAS PERMEATED OUR LIVESThe LG (formerly Lucky Goldstar) Electronics factory in Newcastle manufactures 600,000 television sets and the same number of microwave ovens each year for the Western European market.UK sales of all Korean car makes – among them Daewoo, Hyundai and Kia – were around 45,000 in 1995. Don’t stick chopsticks upright into rice: they resemble burning sticks of incense, and suggest death.

If you’re male, don’t strike up conversations in public with women (see main text). Consumption of wood for fuel helps explain why much of the country lost its tree cover long ago.Taboos: don’t point, or beckon by crooking the finger; instead raise the hand palm upwards and flutter the fingers. For men, loose coat and trousers of white hemp, and an array of hats. Traditional costume is little worn today, except for special occasions.Housing: the most distinctive feature of the traditional brick house is the ondol, a highly efficient form of underfloor heating. Since the war, Christianity has made amazing advances in the South, and today Korea’s cities are dotted with huge new churches.Costume: for women, long, billowing hanbok in gorgeous pinks, yellows and greens, with a bow at the breast and a full skirt that gives a slightly pregnant look.

In the centre is the Taoist symbol for the balance of harmony between opposites, yang (hot, heaven, day, male, action, etc) coloured red at the top, and yin (cold, earth, night, etc) coloured blue underneath.Religions: Confucianism and Buddhism are fundamental to Korea’s religious traditions, but at a more populist level Korea is the country of shamanism: rituals are enacted by a mudang (priest) to bring luck on numerous occasions, such as setting out on a journey. The paucity of surnames in use is a striking feature of the country, emphasising its equally striking ethnic homogeneity.Flag: a deeply philosophical design, the white background is said to represent Confucian purity or the Buddhist concept of emptiness. If the arrival of LG, Daewoo and the rest opens our minds to the colours and moods of a beautiful and vital nation, it will be enriching in more ways than one.A SHORT GUIDE TO KOREANames: most people seem to be called Kim, Park or Lee. Its international image has never fully recovered from the war: veterans’ memories of the bitter fighting and the atrocious winters have coloured our view of the country ever since.

Autocar magazine judged Daewoo’s Nexia and Espero models to be the worst family cars of 1995. The Espero, it said, was “shockingly mediocre” – and in February of this year, all 8,000 Nexias sold in Britain were recalled when faults suggested there was a risk of them bursting into flames.Yet it would be a mistake to start sneering, because the Koreans are only just beginning to get into their stride. And Daewoo’s purchase of the design firm in Worthing, and their hiring of a German, Dr Ulrich Bez, fresh from Porsche and BMW, as the company’s vice-president, suggests that the Koreans are refreshingly free of the insularity and tribalism that inhibits Japanese firms from involving foreigners in their operations at a high level.Most of us have at least nibbled on a raw fish, would recognise an ikebana flower arrangement if we bumped into it and would know what we were expected to do in a karaoke bar Korea, however, has yet to impinge upon us culturally. But it means Korean companies may also embody familiar western weaknesses. The Japanese have the credit for inventing the fault-free automobile; the Koreans threaten to take us back to the age of the old banger. When this firm and two other design consultancies drew up rival schemes for Daewoo’s new four- wheel drive, Mr Kim flew to Worthing to pronounce judgement in person.This highly autocratic executive style is more easily comprehended in the West than the slow-moving, opaque, consensual style favoured by Japanese companies.
