Authors : Chiwon Choi Journal : 21st Century Political Science Review Publisher : The 21st Century Political Science Association Volume : 28(2) Publication Date : June, 2018 Abstract : In philosophy of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel, there is a tension between an idea of universal human equality and gender equality. Kant’s philosophy is considered to have completed the idea of enlightenment but full of contradiction because there is no concept of woman in it. In the case of Fichte, unlike Kant, there are positive aspects in understanding the woman. However, these aspects are cancelled out by the way he assigns too high a value to the man. In Hegel, there remains the philosophical idea of Kant and Fichte, who discriminated women and separated women from the public world. Furthermore, there is only a scanty place for women in his concept of ‘Geist’ that is directed toward the denial of the existing⋯

Authors : Gye-Won Jo Journal : Economy and Society Publisher : Critical Sociological Association of Korea Volume : 118 Publication Date : June, 2018 Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to analyze the three anger in the ‘peanut rage’ incident in terms of inequality of status-power inherent in social relations. This case is an example of how emotions work in social relations in that the anger played an important role in the occurrence of incident, the disclosure of whistle-blower, and the spread of public interest. If actor of relatively high status is able to exercise their power arbitrarily to actors of relatively low status, social norms of disrespect and adaptation are created between them. While the executives of family conglomerates often reveal their control through anger, workers must adapt themselves to the executive’s emotion and endure humiliating situations. However, the anger that arises in the experience of denying⋯

Authors : Jin Seok Bae Journal : Comparative Democratic Studies Publisher : Inje Institute of Democracy and Autonomy Volume : 14(1) Publication Date : June, 2018 Abstract : The purpose of this study is to verify the empirical evidence that the automatic submission of the budget bill to the plenary session introduced after the implementation of, so-called, the National Assembly Advancement Act will impair the fiscal control of the National Assembly. Unlike the concerns raised in the first year of the introduction, the automatic submission system of the budget bill and the series of bills accompanying the budget cannot be considered to constrain the right of the standing committees and the special committee on budget and accounts regarding input and output of budget review. The study argues that the automatic submission system as a major itarian rule rather than a consensus one unexpectedly exercised its centripetal force the partisan lawmakers⋯

Authors : Jin Seok Bae Journal : Journal of International Politics Publisher : Ilmin International Relations Institute Volume : 23(1) Publication Date : June, 2018 Abstract : Does the Central Bank Independence (CBI) depend on the political regime type such as democracy and authoritarianism, or is the CBI determined by the economic situation of each country or the global economic trend regardless of the political regime type? Existing studies have their own limitations because they emphasize only the pressure of global financial reform by the Washington consensus or analyze just the political system of individual countries. This study argues that CBI is best assured when the pressure of global economic reform and the democracy of individual countries interact. For empirical analysis, this study used panel data from 182 countries from 1970 to 2012. The empirical analysis shows that, firstly, both the viewpoints of global financial reformby the Washington Consensus and⋯

Authors : Jin Seok Bae Journal : Korean Journal of Political Science Publisher : Korean Political Science Society Volume : 26(2) Publication Date : May, 2018 Abstract : The study highlights the political context in which TV debates can take effect in the 19th presidential election in 2017. In this political context, this study argues that TV debates are not limited to changes in perceptions such as change in favor of candidates, but also to concrete actions such as candidate changes. While previous studies have focused on the causal relationship between the exposure to TV debates and candidate selection, this study empirically analyzes that voter efficacy of TV debates regarding comparison of candidates’ quality has a direct effect on candidate selection. As a result of the hypothesis test, this study argues that the falling popularity of Ahn Cheol-soo came from his poor performance in the TV debate  

Authors : Jin Seok Bae Journal : Peace Studies Publisher : Peace & Democracy Institute Volume : 26(1) Publication Date : April, 2018 Abstract :This study analyzes the distribution strategy among authoritarian election mobilization strategies through the cases of Yushin regime and the Fifth Republic in South Korea. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate empirically the characteristics of political purpose and electoral system that the authoritarian ruling power considers as the top priority. This study finds that the main target for an incumbent under N=2 Single Non-Transferable Vote (SNTV) system were urban areas and the objective was to win second place in opposition strongholds rather than first place in areas where the ruling party had high support. This study also confirms that the preference and strategy of the ruling power that tried to increase urban representation, and the institutional variable such as N=2 SNTV influenced the voting behavior⋯

Authors : Hyeok Yong Kwon, Eunju Chi Journal : Korean Political Science Review Publisher : The Korean Political Science Association Volume : 52(1) Publication Date : March, 2018 Abstract : This paper examines the characteristics of social security systems and identifies institutional origins in South Korea and Taiwan during the post-democratization period. In both Korea and Taiwan the productivist welfare system was formed during the authoritarian developmental state era. As the growth policy of their developmental states reached its limits and the market opening progressed, the inequality of the two countries began to increase rapidly. The democratic transition in 1987 expanded the demand for redistribution to protect the socially unstable and economically insecure groups and social strata. Korea and Taiwan, where the market opening and democratization have co-evolved, tried to protect the social weak by expanding the national health insurance, improving public pension system and establishing various social security systems.⋯

Author : Doo-Jin Kim Journal : The Journal of Asiatic Studies Publisher : Asiatic Research Institute, Korea University Volume : 61(1) Publication Date : March, 2018 Abstract : The Korean Wave often argues for faster and stronger invasion into East Asian countries, further European countries in cultural sense. K-pop has often come to the logic that Korea has finally entered the Center. Until most recently, combined with the controversy on a more aggressive cultural imperialism, it is assumed that the Korean wave has an aspect of ‘reverse media imperialism,’ reflecting a new dichotomy of us/center and them/periphery. Some argue that the Korean Wave may be seen as a new cultural dominant at the international dimension, thus paving the way for cultural hegemony even in Europe e.g. the UK. The orthodoxy in popular music studies has supported cross-fertilization through the process of hybridization or transculturation between the global and the local.⋯

Authors : Hyang Mi Oh Journal : Journal of Korean Politics Publisher :The Institute of Korean Political Studies Center for Social Sciences Volume : 26(1) Publication Date : February, 2018 Abstract : This article reviews John Locke’s theory of the separation of power laid out in The Second Treatise of Government. In this regard, the conclusion is reached herein that Locke fails to apply a consistent principle when it comes to the classification of powers and the distribution of such powers to political groups. Locke maintains that individual liberty and rights are secured by the separate exercise of Legislative and Executive Power, which is derived from the Legislative. In addition to the powers associated with the making and execution of laws, a Community functioning in the social state requires other powers capable of managing matters out of the rule of law so as to protect individual liberty and rights. One⋯

Authors : Gyu Jeong Yee, Sung-woo Lee, and Jae Hyeok Shin Journal : Social Science Studies Publisher : Social Science Research Institute, Chunbuk National University Volume : 41(3) Publication Date : December, 2017 Abstract : In this article we aim to investigate the effect of political factors on technological disasters such as the sinking of the Sewol ferry. We argue that as the influence of leftist parties in the government increases, regulatory intensity increases, which, in turn, decreases technological disasters. Leftist parties tend to intensify regulations prioritizing human safety rather than economic growth, whereas rightist parties tend to soften regulations placing greater emphasis on growth. Intensified regulations should decrease technological disasters, whereas softened regulations should increase technological disasters. We support these arguments using time-series data of 59 countries around the world. We find that as the governing leftist parties’ share of parliamentary seats increases, the regulatory intensity increases, and that as the regulatory⋯
