How Does Integrated Ethnic Education Policy Affect Tibetan Students’ National Identity?
South Korea in 2023
In 2023, South Korea faced turbulence under the Yoon Suk-Yeol administration, which was marked by democratic challenges, foreign policy shifts, and high political tensions. This report examines South Korea’s transformative year, with a focus on ongoing leadership transitions, emerging diplomatic horizons for freedom and human rights, economic challenges stemming from “Peak Korea,” and key social issues, including a high suicide rate, low birth ra…
Political Uncertainty and Corporate Investment
China's political system has continued to maintain a highly centralized regime despite embracing a decentralized development strategy after the 1979 economic reform. The central government frequently makes changes in political leadership to control regional governments. Such political turnover in the regional governments can generate substantial political uncertainty, which affects the overall management direction and environment of Chinese publi…
Theme issue
This collection on ‘Open Innovation and Catch-Up: Globalist or Localist?’ is introduced with an appreciation of three key transitions for spatial development today, viewed through seven comparative case analyses from Asia, the US and Europe. ‘Institutional path dependence’ is the first issue. The second has been ‘hyperglobalization’ now under moderate challenge from ‘de-globalization’. Third, is the process of ‘open innovation’ that accompanied t…
A Q Methodology Analysis of Chinese Policy Makers' Perceptions of China's Foreign Policy Decision-Making Process concerning South Korea's THAAD Deployment
This paper explores the diverse ways Chinese policymakers view the foreign policy process in China. Two approaches characterize conventional accounts of the foreign policy decision-making process. One of these, based on Graham Allison's rational, organizational, and bureaucratic politics models, focuses on intragovernmental aspects of foreign policy decision-making processes, while the other highlights extra-governmental domestic and foreign fact…
The Effect of the Xi Jinping Administration’s Anticorruption Campaign on the Performance of State-Owned Enterprises
There has been a debate on how the state-driven anticorruption movement during the Xi Jinping administration has influenced state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Research has examined the relationship between corruption and economic development at the country level in Asia and has found paradoxically that economic growth and high corruption levels can coexist. However, the “Asian paradox” that appears at the country level may be a transitional phenomen…
The Equity of Health Care Spending in South Korea
This paper examined the important organizational and managerial factors of publicness for the equity of health care. The extent of organizational publicness was measured with key independent variables such as ownership, evaluation, and accreditation. The dependent variable was measured by three equity indicators for patients under medical care and veterans care: financial inequity, social equity, and overall equity. We analyzed unbalanced panel d…
A report of the 2018 regional election in South Korea
The 2018 regional election in South Korea brought a tremendous political victory for the liberal Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and a dramatic loss for the conservative Liberty Party Korea (LPK). The DPK won 14 out of 17 gubernatorial and metropolitan races, 151 out of 226 (69%) elections for executive office at the municipal level, 652 out of 824 (79%) provincial council seats, and 1,638 out of 2,926 (56%) municipal council seats.

Policy Innovation across Korean Local Governments after Democratization
This study explores those factors that induce policy innovation among Korean local governments after democratization. While centralism in South Korea prevailed over community democracy after democratization in 1987, since the first local elections in 1995, Korean local governments have experienced a smooth democratic transition and the consolidation of democracy. We attempt to introduce a synthetic application of fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative…
Exploring Neglected Aspects of Innovation Function
The traditional innovation function, focusing on extrinsic motivations such as economic benefits and returns, has neglected the side of intrinsic values and public motivations for innovation function. Recent innovation examples in an era of mobile network and web-based information environment pursue open connected innovations such as open source movement and crowding source. Such open, collective and social innovations result from strong public m…
Exploring the Determinants of the Entry and Exit of Ministers inKorea
The entry and exit of ministers has been of primary interest to students of political science and public management inWestern countries.

We argued that as theKorean presidency s…
Shaping Public Corporation Leadership in a Turbulent Environment
This article explores how public corporation leadership copes with a turbulent environment using political, managerial, and individual leadership elements. It is an in‐depth case study of Lee Ji‐Song, who effectively managed the politically and managerially challenging environment that resulted from the merger of two large public corporations into the Korea Land and Housing Corporation. Lee, an engineer, manager, and chief executive of a major co…
Exploring the Linkage Between Ministerial Leadership and Performance in Korea
The significance and the role of leadership in organizations and institutions have been widely discussed but not well understood. Much of the previous literature is limited to leadership practices and education as well as to the American context. Focusing on the Korean ministerial level, this study examines the ministerial leadership interplaying uniquely between the president (politics) and career civil servants (administration). Extending the t…
Policy Bureaucracy
The Double‐Edged Sword of Public‐Resource Dependence
As governments and nonprofit organizations build close partnerships for the provision of public services, they become interdependent in many ways. In particular, nonprofits' public‐resource dependence has significant implications for their behavior and decisions. By examining Korean cultural nonprofit organizations (CNPOs), this article posits a theoretical framework for the impact of public‐resource dependence on nonprofits' organizational auton…
