Toward a More Contextual Approach to Predictive Policing: Systematic Literature Review
With advancements in data science, predictive policing has attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, limited research has examined the technological infrastructure, institutional and political systems, and cultural contexts associated with predictive policing. Utilizing a systematic literature review method, this study classifies the social science literature on predictive policing into decontextualized and contextual approaches.…
Multi-Faceted Platform Politics in the Design of the Korean Digital Environmental Impact Assessment System
This article examines the multi-faceted politics of digital platforms in the context of the Korean Digital Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) system. Based on semi-structured interviews with environmental experts, this study analyzes digital platforms in terms of three roles: as a surveillance system for ethopolitics; as a marketplace that sustains interest group politics; and, as a data display interface that shapes sensory politics. First, …

Sociotechnical Imaginaries and the Globalization of Converging Technology Policy: Technological Developmentalism in South Korea
The United States (US), European Union (EU), and South Korea had different definitions and visions of technological convergence before interacting with each other from the late 2000s. The Korean government has used Western policies as a benchmark but produces a distinct concept of technological convergence due to a particular imaginary of technology as a vehicle for national economic growth. This sociotechnical imaginary of technological developm…

Sound and the Korean Public: Sonic Citizenship in the Governance of Apartment Floor Noise Conflicts
Apartment floor noise is becoming a serious social problem in South Korea. Apartment floor noise conflicts arise from the disruption of neighbourhood community in Korean apartment complexes. To resolve the conflicts, the Korean government and apartment residents employ two modes of governance: technocratic and collaborative. These models of governance create legal and community standards of floor noise that constitute sonic citizenship—the status…

However, this system conflicts with the participa…
Technocratic precautionary principle: Korean risk governance of genetically modified organisms
Regulations for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Korea fluctuate between technocracy and the precautionary principle (PP). Technocratic PP denotes the coexistence, or coproduction, of technocracy with PP – a complex ensemble of technocratic, precautionary policies, and hybrids of the two. This paper analyzes four types of PP-based policies linked to Korean GMO regulations: foresight and monitoring of risk; reverse burden of proof; public …

Critically engaging with…
How did enterprise risk management first appear in the Korean public sector
This research addresses the rise and fall of the Crisis Management Guideline of Public Organizations (CMGPO) from a historical perspective. In the Korean public sector, as a form of enterprise risk management (ERM), CMGPO is not designed to be merely a tool of financial risk management but also to be a policy tool for crisis management. CMGPO emerged within the conflict between integrated crisis management and dispersed crisis management. The pur…

This study investigates the multiplicity of sciences and the assemblage of technocracy with the precautionary principle (PP) in the Korean risk governance of mad cow disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy [BSE]). It conducts a policy typological analysis and a sociocultural analysis of the PP. Korean BSE policies are built on the technocratic PP. This principle emphasizes the scientific evidence of risk, although taking precautionary policy ac…
Glottalization and Lenition in Nuu-chah-nulth
This article examines glottalization and lenition in Nuu-chah-nulth. These processes involve features introduced via affixation, features that are sometimes compatible with the final segment of the stem and sometimes incompatible. An understanding of the intricacies of these patterns requires a focus on featural representations, with lexical representations involving floating features and variable specifications for features. Both of these proper…
Heterogeneous assemblages of bioethics and science: The “pre-embryo” debate in America
This paper explores the “pre-embryo” debate in America to analyze the relationship between scientific uncertainty and moral decision-making. This paper explores how an ethical debate among bioethicists around the term “pre-embryo” has been transformed into a scientific “fact” debate between developmental biology and embryology. This transformation is driven by the scientism of ethical reasoning that stresses scientific claims to increase the cred…

Chemical Sunset: Technological Inflexibility and Designing an Intelligent Precautionary “Polluter Pays” Principle
This article provides a theoretical policy-making model of chemical sunset that gradually substitutes green alternatives for persistent toxic substances within a finite timeframe. The technological inflexibility of these substances is a tough obstacle to a chemical sunset, because a chemical sunset seeks to ultimately stop, within a short period of time, the risky businesses of these substances that are highly entrenched into our society. In wres…
