  • Korean Wave as Tool for Korea’s New Cultural Diplomacy

    Open AccessGunjoo Jang, Won K PaikARTICLEAdvances in Applied Sociology2012Cited by: 29References: 6

    In recent years, there has been an influx of Korean popular culture throughout the world, including East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Korean popular culture, also known as the “Korean Wave” (Hallyu in Korean) ranges from television dramas, movies, popular music (K-pop), dance (B-boys), video game, food, fashion, tourism, and language (Hangul). The main focus of this paper is to examine the essence of the Korean Wave and its imp…

  • The Rising Tides of Africa and China

    Open AccessSterling Johnson, Won K Paik et al.ARTICLEInternational Area Studies Review2011References: 1

    Since the mid 1980s, Chinese security analysts have debated China's role in the changing international system. Sharp increases in Chinese military spending indicate that China plans to reshape the international economic and military balance of power. Much of China's economic growth is the product of its investment in Africa. Some are concerned that Beijing's more recent relations with Africa are part of its strategy to become the new global hegem…

  • East Asian Economic Models for Chile

    Open AccessWon K Paik, Sterling Johnson et al.ARTICLEInternational Area Studies Review2011References: 2

    East Asia's economy grew rapidly from the 1970s through 2000s: Its population now constitutes about 50% of the world's population and its economic output, 45% of the GDP. In recent years, East Asia has become an important place for the Chilean economy, because it also constitutes the most dynamic market for Chilean exports, with reported annual growth rates of over 200%. This paper examines the Chilean economy and its enterprises with respect to …

  • Global Income Inequality in Developing and Less Developed Countries

    Open AccessWon K Paik, Russell MardonARTICLEPacific Focus2003References: 15

    The purpose of this study is to analyze global income inequalities by examining neo‐classical, dependency, and statist analyses. The present study utilizes both cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses for developing and less developed countries for the time frames of the 1970s and 1990s. The cross‐sectional analyses tend to suggest that while the level of economic development partially affects income distribution, structural constraint of land …

  • Beyond the Domain

    William P Browne, Won K PaikARTICLEAmerican Journal of Political…1993Cited by: 17References: 6

    The study of policy networks usually focuses on the most routine political interactions, rather than on the proliferation of new activists and issues. In studying Congress, that approach directs attention to committee and subcomittee influence. This analysis takes an alternate approach, one more compatible with increasing entrepreneurship and declining specialization in the postreform Congress. It examines individual members from throughout the C…

  • Causes of Import Penetration from the Pacific Basin Newly Industrializing Countries into the United States

    Open AccessWon K PaikARTICLEJournal of Southeast Asian Studies1991References: 3

    With the emergence of “new Protectionism” and the resurrection of international political economy as a legitimate field of international relations, international trade and trade relations have, once again, become the focal points of political science inquiries. Given its varied intellectual attractions, the central theme of international trade remains constant: What are the causes of trade relations? Specifically, what factors determine a flow of…

  • Realignment in ITOs

    Michael F Altfeld, Won K PaikARTICLEInternational Studies Quarterly1986Cited by: 2References: 3

    In a previous paper, Berkowitz (1983) applied expected utility theory to obtain necessary but not sufficient conditions for decisions by International Treaty Organization (ITO) members to ‘confirm’ their membership or ‘defect’. Unfortunately, in his test of the theory, Berkowitz included only nations which took positive action to confirm or defect. Non-realigners (nations choosing neither to confirm nor to defect) were not included. We show that …
