  • Top-down empowerment? The construction of the social economy in the field of social service provision

    Open AccessSang Hun LimARTICLECritical Social Policy2025References: 5

    This study examines the development of the social economy in South Korea, focusing on the experiences of marginalised informal social service providers that have newly incorporated as social economy organisations (SEOs) through top-down government policies. Drawing on in-depth interviews with organisers of new SEOs as well as other related actors, the study explores their motivations, challenges, and newly constructed values. While extant studies…

  • Look up rather than down: Karl Polanyi's fascism and radical right-wing 'populism

    Open AccessSang Hun LimARTICLECurrent Sociology2023Cited by: 2References: 44

    Radical right-wing politics is often regarded as a populist movement for social protection against economic globalisation. As a solution, contemporary Polanyian critics often suggest reforming left parties to reorient populist movements from the right to the left by building a broad non-capitalist coalition. Through a close reading of Polanyi's works, this article offers an alternative diagnosis and prescription for preventing radical right-wing …

  • Potting Christianity: Ecumenical Worship in Its Multicultural and Multi-Ethnic Context

    Open AccessSang Hun Lim, Swee Hong LimARTICLEReligions2022References: 3

    In the gardening world, potting refers to the cultivation of plants by cutting, layering, and replacing nutrients-depleted soil with new soil in larger pots to accommodate the growth process. This understanding seems helpful in describing ecumenical worship. There are two perspectives about this phenomenon. On one end of the liturgical practice spectrum, it is perceived as a "least-common-denominator" worship form where contested expressions are …

  • Welfare state and the social economy in compressed development: Self‐sufficiency organizations in South Korea

    Open AccessSang Hun LimARTICLEPublic Administration and…2021

    Current studies tend to theorize the relationship between the social economy (SE) and social policy based on the experiences of Western welfare states, missing the evolution of social economy organizations (SEOs) in later developing, transitional welfare states. This article fills this gap by examining self‐sufficiency organizations in South Korea, which originated from urban SEOs but became agents for microbusiness start‐ups under the newly intr…

  • Policy Entrepreneurship within the Advocacy Coalition Framework: The Introduction of Self-Sufficiency Organisations in South Korean Public Assistance

    Shin Dong-Myeon, Dong-Myeon Shin et al.ARTICLEKorea Observer - Institute of…2020

    How can a non-powerful minority in the policymaking process realise its preferred policy? To answer this question, this research applies the advocacy coalition framework (ACF), which emphasises contestation among groups with different belief systems (advocacy coalitions: ACs). By examining the case of self-sufficiency organisations under the public assistance scheme in South Korea (hereafter, Korea), this research argues that, even though it is a…

  • Devolving public duties: Can the Social Economy Fulfil Social Rights

    Chikako Endo, Sang Hun LimARTICLEPolicy & Politics2017

    This paper considers the implications for social rights when welfare provision is devolved from the state to the social economy. We bring together the idea of social rights as claims that entail institutionalised public duties, and that of the social economy as an institution for welfare provision based on voluntary, associational principles. After clarifying the tensions in rights provision within an associational framework, we argue that future…

  • Forming Christians through Musicking in China

    Open AccessSang Hun Lim, Swee Hong LimARTICLEReligions2017Cited by: 1References: 7

    In recent years, authorities in mainland China have renewed their call for the sinicization of Christianity through theological discourse. Given that Christianity is largely expressed in visible, worship-based ways, such as music (songs), rhetoric (sermons), rituals (sacraments), symbols (crosses, garments, banners, etc.), posture and gesture (genuflecting, lifting hands, etc.), one wonders at the implication of this development. Might there be a…

  • The development of the social economy in the welfare mix: Political dynamics between the state and the third sector

    Open AccessSang Hun Lim, Chikako EndoARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2016Cited by: 1References: 1

    This paper explores how social economy organizations (SEOs) position themselves in the welfare mix without being occupied by the state or market, especially in a context where they have not yet taken firm root in society. Focusing on the South Korean case, this paper analyzes the developmental path of the social economy in light of two factors: the degree of state involvement in the social economy, and SEOs’ political power. Based on these two fa…
