Mourning and Melancholy in The 1990s and The 2000s Korean Novels-Focusing on Yoon Dae-nyeong and Kim Hoon's Works
According to recent appraisals, despite its pathological aspects, melancholy can be a psychological impetus for spiritual creativity and utopianism. Drawing on those appraisals, this article examines some religious implications of mourning and melancholy in novels of Yoon Dae-nyeong and Kim Hoon in the context of Korean society in the 1990s and the early 2000s. Firstly, Yoon Dae-nyeong's early works depict an intense sense of loss arising from th…
Job attraction and career choice motivation in a socialist-market economy: The case of the young Vietnamese workforce
This paper aims to explain the career choice motivation of young workers in a non-Western setting, Vietnam. After witnessing the greater role of the relatively small but competent bureaucracy in East Asia, many have assumed that 'pervasive and powerful' bureaucracy also occupies a similar prestigious position in the rapidly growing Vietnam. For the past decade, however, declining talent acquisition in the public sector indicates that good quality…
Multilevel Democracy: How Local Institutions and Civil Society Shape the Modern State
This volume presents the first systematic comparative analysis of national traditions of local democracy across the developed world, as well as their origins and evolution. It reveals how inclusive local institutions that integrate national and local governance make democracy work better. Across most of the developed world, early forms of the national state entrenched the local power of elites. In Anglo-American and Swiss democracies, state forma…
The Making of Gangnam: Social Construction and Identity of Urban Place in South Korea
Amid a globally increasing trend of urban segregation, this article asks why a particular urban place, the Gangnam area in the city of Seoul, has come to symbolize the rich and the powerful, consolidating both socioeconomic segregation and political conservatism in a short span of time. While different approaches exist that partially explain Gangnam’s luxurious lifestyles, fervent real estate speculation, obsession with education, and political c…
Socialized soft power: Recasting analytical path and public diplomacy
Mega-Events and Mega-Ambitions: South Korea’s Rise and the Strategic Use of the Big Four Events

It explains how mega-events helped to secure South Korea’s position on the international stage, bo…
Decentralization and collaborative disaster governance: Evidence from South Korea
Ideas, interests and practical authority in reform politics: Decentralization reform in South Korea in the 2000s
This paper explains the reason why the hitherto statist country, Korea, has carried out significant decentralization since the 2000s. In explaining the motivation for decentralization, extant literature has focused on the role of parties, bureaucratic politics, democratization, or territorial interests. Yet there is still limited explanation of how the decentralization laws in Korea could be successfully passed in the 2000s, while cental stakehol…
Civil society and local activism in South Korea's local democratization
Recent studies on causes of intergovernmental transformation in old and new democracies have found that decentralization is often the outcome of negotiations between national and local political interests. South Korea is commonly believed to be an exception because local elections and institutions introduced in the early 1990s were, by and large, the product of negotiations among political elites at the centre, without significant inclusion of lo…
Decentralized urban Governance and Environmental collaboration in South Korea: The case of Hyundai city
Making and unmaking of transnational environmental cooperation: The case of reclamation projects in Japan and Korea
There has been an ongoing debate about how (or through what mechanisms) global environmental norms have influenced domestic political debates that give rise to green policy choices. In particular, effective international environmental cooperation between transnational and domestic NGOs has been recognized as a key to successful environmental movements. In this regard, the central question guiding research on the politics of environmental norms is…
Globalization, the Developmental State and the Politics of Urban Growth in Korea: A Multilevel Analysis
This article explores the politics of urban growth in a transitional society. Korea, which is experiencing rapid industrialization, urbanization and democratic transition exemplifies a set of conditions that may seem to favor the emergence of an urban growth politics and business-led growth coalition much like that found in urban areas at the time of industrialization, and still prevalent in much of the US and other western democracies today. Yet…
