Partisan Rationalization and Evaluations of (Un)Democratic Behaviors: The Amplifying Role of Affective Polarization
This study examines how partisan identities shape citizens’ perceptions of democratic and undemocratic behavior by politicians. Drawing on theories of partisan-motivated reasoning, we argue that partisan identities serve as powerful directional goals that unconsciously bias how citizens evaluate political behaviors against democratic principles. Crucially, we theorize that affective polarization amplifies these partisan rationalization biases by …
Participatory process, anti-elitism, and legitimacy beliefs in local policy-making: Evidence from a survey experiment in South Korea
As many representative democracies face growing challenges of public dissatisfaction and legitimacy crises, understanding how to enhance citizens’ support for political decision-making processes becomes increasingly crucial. While existing research suggests that public participation can strengthen democratic legitimacy in well-established Western democracies, relatively little attention has been paid to whether the positive effects of public part…
Democracy Isn't Enough for Redistribution: Welfare Stagnation and Labour Weakening in South Korea and Taiwan
While democracy is often assumed to promote economic equality, its redistributive effects have proven uneven across contexts. This article examines South Korea and Taiwan-two countries that achieved rapid industrialization under authoritarian developmental regimes and transitioned to democracy in the late twentieth century. Despite early improvements in welfare policy and labour mobilization, both countries have witnessed rising income inequality…
People’s Contrasting Attitudes Towards Universal Basic Income in Sweden and South Korea
The discourse on universal basic income varies widely across countries. In Sweden, public opinion is generally negative even in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is barely discussed on the public policy table. On the other hand, in South Korea, public opinion is not as negative as in Sweden, and basic income is actively raised as policy agenda. Our study based on survey results reaffirmed the contrasting attitudes of the Swedish and Su…
The divergent evolution of East Asian welfare states: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore
Existing regime approaches characterize East Asian welfare states as possessing low levels of government intervention and investment in social welfare. However, democratization in the 1980s changed the socioeconomic structures of East Asian countries––leading them to rethink their welfare commitments. The late 1990s financial crisis and globalization also accelerated the reorganization of their welfare systems. Using the cases of Japan, South Kor…
Do welfare benefits compensate for globalization among affluent democracies
This article examines the nexus of globalization, welfare systems and income inequality, in which a key theme is the assessment of how the distributional consequences of globalization are altered by the welfare benefit programmes of advanced welfare states. Existing literature contends that globalization is one of the principle reasons for the current increases in income inequality in developed economies. However, the distributional effects of gl…
