Media coverage of feminine policy issues and electoral consequences: An Analysis of Mixed Electoral System
This research examines the electoral consequences of media coverage of legislators in relation to feminine policy issues like the environment, social welfare, education, and minority rights. For this goal, the paper utilizes 16,831 hand-coded newspaper articles published between 2005 and 2020 that depict elected legislators in Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan. The results demonstrate that the more the media portrays a legislator in connection to feminin…
Gender, media, and politics: A Bibliometric Analysis of Gendered Mediation in Politics Literature
This article presents a critical state-of-the-art assessment of empirical studies analyzing the media coverage of politicians from a gender perspective. Applying a bibliometric technique, it analyzes 330 related studies from the past three decades, focusing on the field’s visibility, publication trends, and analyzed content. Given the vast body of accumulated research, reflecting on potential biases and blind spots of the field is essential. The …
Blind spots in the study of democratic representation: Masses and elites in old and new democracies
Preference congruence between masses and elites lies at the heart of the study of democratic representation. In this article, substantiated by a meta-analysis of 154 studies published between 1960 and 2022, we show that the literature on mass–elite congruence has increased exponentially in the past decade. Despite the growing academic interest, the publications mainly focus on Western Europe and leave two critical blind spots. First, at the mass …
Women’s issues, critical actors and the media: Substantive representation of women and gendered media coverage in South Korea
The article investigates whether media coverage varies for male and female legislators with regards to their activities in promoting women’s interests. To test this, 30 key women’s-issue-promoting legislators in South Korea are selected, primarily based on their legislative significance within a women’s-issue bill co-sponsorship network between 2004 and 2016, and their various substantive representation efforts are analysed by examining 45 news o…

Overpromising Social Welfare Benefits? Electoral Competition and Welfare Politics in Taiwan
Drawing insights from legislative, electoral and welfare studies, the article investigates whether and to what extent electoral competition affects incumbent politicians’ overpromising of social welfare benefits. For this, Taiwan is chosen as the case and the article examines the fate of elite-level social welfare legislative proposals in the period between 1992 and 2016. Findings drawn from quantitative bill sponsorship patterns demonstrate that…
Substantive representation of women and policy-vote trade-offs: Does Supporting Women’s Issue Bills Decrease a Legislator’s Chance of Reelection
The paper investigates how parliamentary efforts to represent the interests of female electorates influence the legislators' re-election chances. Taiwan is chosen as the case study and, for empirical analysis, I utilise an original bill co-sponsorship dataset that consists of roughly 400,000 cosponsors for all bills submitted between 1992 and 2016. The findings, based on regression analyses, show that making more legislative effort on women's iss…
Gender and Politics in Northeast Asia: Legislative Patterns and Substantive Representation in Korea and Taiwan
The article examines the conditions under which female legislators are more likely to act on behalf of female electorates through two underexplored cases - South Korea and Taiwan. Specifically, it investigates the effect of three conditions - seat share, electoral rules, and legislator characteristics - on legislators' sponsorship of women's issue bills using an original bill submission dataset. The finding shows that, on the one hand, female leg…
Gender Politics and Legislative Networks in Taiwan: An Analysis of Women-Bill Co-Sponsorship and Bill Success
This article examines how legislative networks can be utilised to further the interests of female voters. Specifically, I investigate how legislators’ gender and partisanship within co-sponsorship networks are related to the successful passage of women bills. For this goal, the article focusses on Taiwan—where both women’s descriptive and substantive representations have improved dramatically since democratisation and, at the same time, co-sponso…
Measuring the mass-elite preference congruence: Findings from a meta-analysis and introduction to the symposium
The extensive scholarship devoted to the congruence of mass-elite policy preferences lacks consensus about the meaning, comparison, and measurement across political settings. This makes comparisons difficult and raises obstacles to advancing the debates. This symposium aims to identify the diversity of methodological choices and to reflect systematically on several key choices of particular importance in understanding the congruence. The contribu…
Left is right and right is left? Partisan difference on social welfare and particularistic benefits in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan
This paper investigates elite-level partisan differences along the socioeconomic dimension in three developed East Asian democracies – Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. On the one hand, the mainstream literature in welfare studies and party politics expects left- and right-leaning parties should vary significantly in utilizing social policy promises. On the other hand, the path dependency logic tells us that left–right difference should be found ove…
The legislature and agenda politics of social welfare: A comparative analysis of authoritarian and democratic regimes in South Korea
The article mainly seeks to explain the legislature's preferences in social welfare before and after democratization using South Korea as a case study. Based on an original dataset that consists of all executive and of legislative branch-submitted bills between 1948 and 2016 - roughly 60,000- legislative priority on social welfare is compared over time, and tested using logistic regressions. The key focus of analysis is whether and how the level …
Long-Term Outcome of Single-Chamber Atrial Pacing Compared with Dual-Chamber Pacing in Patients with Sinus-Node Dysfunction and Intact Atrioventricular Node Conduction
In patients with SND and intact AV conduction, AAI(R) pacing can achieve a better clinical outcome in terms of occurrence of CHF and AF than DDD(R) pacing. These findings support AAI(R) pacing as the preferred pacing mode in patients with SND and intact AV conduction.
