  • Thirty Years' Efforts to Delve into Korean Voters' Hearts and Minds Achievements and Limitations

    Byung-Jae Lee, Byung‐jae Lee et al.ARTICLEKorea Observer - Institute of…2020

    South Korea made a democratic transition and adopted new electoral systems on the presidential and National Assembly election in 1987. The paper provides an overview of the studies on Korean voter behavior in the last thirty years. We begin our discussion with the works on two salient electoral cleavages and their changes: region and ideology. Then we discuss the generation and gender as two increasingly important explanatory variables on vote ch…

  • Testing legislative shirking in a new setting: The case of lame duck sessions in the Korean National Assembly

    Open AccessBon Sang Koo, Junseok Kim et al.ARTICLEJapanese Journal of Political…2019Cited by: 3References: 41

    This paper aims to test two types of legislative shirking in a new democracy, South Korea. Using the lame-duck sessions of the Korean National Assembly, we test whether a legislator shirks in voting participation and in voting decisions. We weave two competing motivations of legislative shirking in voting participation – that to secure more leisure time and that to utilize the last, valuable voting opportunity – into a synthetic hypothesis and te…

  • Cognitive and partisan mobilization in new democracies: The case of South Korea

    Open AccessJun Young Choi, Jiyoon Kim et al.ARTICLEParty Politics2017Cited by: 3References: 14

    This study investigates the voting behavior of Korean the electorate using Dalton’s four concepts of contemporary voters. We demonstrate that cognitive partisans, who possess strong party identification and high levels of cognitive skills, respond to regional party cue and ideology when voting. Ritual partisans and cognitive partisans behave alike but, for ritual partisans, ideology plays a diminished role due to their low cognitive skills. Two i…

  • Analyzing Kim Jong‐un's Survival Strategy from the Comparative Authoritarian Perspective

    Open AccessBon Sang Koo, Jun Young Choi et al.ARTICLEPacific Focus2016Cited by: 2References: 18

    This paper shows that we can properly analyze Kim Jong‐un's survival strategy by employing the knowledge accumulated in comparative studies of contemporary authoritarianism . According to Geddes et al .'s classification, North Korea belongs to a hybrid type that possesses the characteristics of the personalist and single‐party types. Recent comparative studies demonstrate that personalist rulers who are not convinced of their firm control of the …

  • K orean– C hinese Migrant Workers and the Politics of K orean Nationalism

    Open AccessByoungha Lee, Jun Young Choi et al.ARTICLEPacific Focus2014Cited by: 8References: 4

    Why has K orean migration policy been ethnicized? This research mainly aims to explain ethnic preference in K orea's immigration policy through the lens of K orean nationalism. The influx of ethnic K oreans in C hina (or Joseonjok ) since the early 1990s has created a new dilemma for the S outh K orean government, which has long claimed to be the only legitimate polity of the K orean nation. The discrepancy between the legal citizenship and ethni…

  • The Dokdo/Takeshima Dispute between Korea and Japan: Understanding the Whole Picture

    Open AccessJinman Cho, Heemin Kim et al.ARTICLEPacific Focus2009Cited by: 4References: 2

    In the past, most studies on territorial disputes have been in the discipline of history and international law. In this paper, we expand the debate by adopting a utility‐theory approach to the issue of Dokdo/Takeshima. We introduce two different types of utility functions over the disputed islet, and show how moving from one to the other can alter the outcome of the dispute. We conclude that: (i) utilizing historical and/or legal argument alone w…

  • Increasing Distrust of the USA in South Korea

    Open AccessMyongsob Kim, Suzanne L Parker et al.ARTICLEInternational Political Science…2006Cited by: 10References: 9

    The purpose of this article is two-pronged. First, it seeks to identify the factors that seem to lower trust in the USA among South Koreans. These factors weaken the traditionally solid Korea-USA alliance and have led a US expert to call South Korea a “runaway ally.” Second, this article empirically tests various explanations of trust using a nationwide survey of South Koreans conducted in 2005. This article employs multiple regression analysis t…
