Author : Hyun-Jin Cha Publication : Comparative Democratic Studies Publisher : Inje Institute of Democracy and Autonomy Volume : 18(2) Date : December 2022 Abstract: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of Korean protest participants from 2004 to 2018. This paper especially examines whether generational attributions are reflected in Korean protestors, focusing on age cohorts born at a similar period. To be specific, this research argues that generations who have experienced crucial political or economic events such as June uprising in 1987 or IMF economic crisis in 1998 at impressionable year are more likely to participate in protest than other generations. As a result of empirical analysis through 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2018 Korea General Social Survey(KGSS) data, this paper examines an effect of age on protest participation in Korea is due to not age effects but cohort effects. This research contributes the influence of generation on protest participation,⋯

Author: Nae-Young Lee Publication : The Journal of Asiatic Studies Publisher : Asiatic Research Institute Volume : 65(4) Date : December 2022 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine causes and effects of affective polarization among Korean electorate. In order to examine the main causes of affective polarization, this paper suggests the two contending theories: the partisan identity theory and the ideology/policy theory, and various hypoheses drawn from the two theories are tested by empirical analysis. Empirical findings indicate that affective polarization is strongly related to the strength of partisan identity as well as ideological distance and policy difference between the two main parties. In addition, strong interaction effects between the strength of partisan identity and policy difference of the two main parties is detected. This paper also tries to analyze non-political effects of affective polarization in Korea. This paper examines whether affective polarization brings negative effects on⋯

Author : Chiwon Choi Publisher : Zeitschrift der Koreanisch-Deutschen Gesellschaft fuer Sozialwissenschaften Publication : Koreanisch-Deutsche Gesellschaft Fuer Sozialwissenschaften(K-G Association For Social Sciences) Volume : 32(4) Date : December 2022 Abstract: The link of romanticism, the historical school and historicism (Historismus) is neither ‘reason’ (freedom) nor progress advocated by the Enlightenment and inherited by Hegel, but ‘history’ (understood as life) that cannot be systematized within philosophical concepts. Weber calls himself as a ‘son of historical school’. As confirmed in many parts of the fountain of his thought, his negative attitude towards the Enlightenment and Hegel’s philosophy tells us that his thought is essentially characterized by the rejection of philosophy and the primacy of history, which historicism (Historismus) and historical school justify. Two moments are thus inherent in his thought: resistance of history to philosophy on the one hand and philosophy subsumed by history on the other hand. Thus, historicism (Historismus) and⋯

Author : Jai Kwan Jung Publication : Korea and World Politics Publisher : The Institute for Far Eastern Studies Volume : 38(4) Date : December 2022 Abstract : What are the political impacts of the 2016-17 candlelight protests? To explore the question, this article analyzes an original survey data designed to assess whether candlelight protest participants maintain distinctive political attitudes even five years after the contentious episode. It shows that, first, candlelight protesters tend to have a higher level of political interest and efficacy and a lower level of political trust in court, the prosecution, and the police while leaning toward the left. Second, they also concern more about growing inequality while supporting the idea that democracy should try to reduce the gap between the wealthy and the poor. Third, candlelight protesters support more strongly that democracy should guarantee gender equality and authoritarianism should not be permitted in any circumstances.⋯

Autnor : Byung-Kon Kim Publisher : The Journal of Humanities and Social science Publication : The Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 21 Volume : 13(6) Date : December 2022 Abstract :This study seeks a political and philosophical basis for the definition of migration. The main purpose of this paper is to explore political and philosophical solutions to this issue. The method of research focuses on analyzing existing political and philosophical discourse on the issue of migrant membership. This study analyzes the theories on the hospitality of membership and diagnoses their limitations. This research also pay attention to the political theory of Benhabib who suggests the most convincing alternative on migration and membership. This study emphasizes Benhabib’s concept of democratic iteration and diagnoses its potential and limitations. Benhabib’s theory is recognized for its significance in that it accepts innate contradictions in the issue of migrant membership and seeks realistic alternatives. However,⋯

Author : David M. Allison, Stephen Herzog, and Jiyoung Ko Publication : Journal of Conflict Resolution Publisher : Sage Volume : 66(10) Date : November, 2022 Abstract : How robust is public support for extended nuclear deterrence in patron and client states? Recent studies have improved scholarly understanding of US public opinion about nuclear weapon use against non-nuclear adversaries. Yet, there is limited knowledge of public attitudes regarding retaliation for nuclear strikes against US allies. We develop a theoretical typology of nuclear crises and investigate this phenomenon with a novel survey experiment (n = 6,623). Americans, Japanese, and South Koreans viewed realistic emergency alert messages about a most-likely case for nuclear retaliation: a North Korean missile attack on a US ally protected by the nuclear umbrella. Support for nuclear retaliation is low in all three countries, with important cross-national differences. Favorability increases with North Korean nuclear first-use, but it remains limited nonetheless. Surprisingly, US⋯

Author : Chiwon Choi Publication : The Korean Review of Political Thought Publisher : Korean Society For Political Thought Volume : 28(2) Date : November 2022 Abstract: In Germany’s historical time and space, especially the German Romanticism and the tradition of Historicism and the Historical School that is developed in a close relation with German Romanticism, Weber’s thought is formed and given its characteristics. This tradition is symbolized by the relationship between philosophy and history, and is particularly characterized by the rebellion of history against philosophy. In Weber’s thought, the philosophical moments unfold as a dual moment of acceptance of Kant and rejection of Hegel. The latter aspect has a decisive meaning in understanding the character and status of his thought. For Weber, regardless of his own intentions and thus paradoxically, is unable to completely dislodge from his thoughts the moment of Romanticism which he himself tried to deny in the spirit⋯

Author : Nam Kyu Kim Publication : Euporean Political Science Review Publisher : Cambridge University Press Volume : 14(4) Date : November, 2022 Abstract : This article explores how women’s descriptive representation affects legal gender equality of economic opportunity. Building on existing studies on women’s descriptive and substantive representation, we argue that as the proportion of female legislators and ministers increases, legal gender equality of economic opportunity improves. Additionally, we expect that a country’s institutional context significantly shapes the influence of women in different positions of power on legal gender equality. The higher the legislature’s law-making power, the greater the effect of female legislators on legal gender equality; under the same condition, its relative influence compared to female cabinet ministers is also greater. Similarly, we hypothesize that the higher the level of democracy, the more effective female legislators compared to female ministers. To test these arguments, we draw on the database that⋯

Author : Hyun-Jin Cha Publication : The Journal of International Relations Publisher : The East Asian Association Of International Studies Volume : 25(3) Date : October 2022 Abstract:  This paper aims to analyze the effects of protests on public opinion. This research analyzes how Occupy Wall Street (OWS) from the United States in 2011 affects public opinions about economic crisis. This paper argues that individuals differently evaluate the cause of economic crisis depending on their preferences of the OWS. That is, an individual who favors to OWS is likely to hold for the OWS the Republicans and the former President Bush more accountable than the Democrats and the then President Obama. This is because the protest’s slogan, “we are 99%,” makes people aware of the fundamental inequality between the rich and the poor. The empirical findings from the 2011-2012 American National Election Studies (ANES) demonstrated the main hypotheses. This paper⋯

Author : Hun Joon Kim Publication : Oughtopia Publisher : Kyung Hee Institute for Human Society Volume : 37(2) Date : November 2022 Abstract: Scholars have studied possibilities and limitations of cooperation in human rights issues. Students of East Asian human rights politics have discovered that findings from other regions cannot easily be applied to the region. First, East Asia is characterized by a lack of regional human rights institutions and organizations to coordinate during the time of human rights crises. Moreover, bilateral relations between Korea-Japan, China-Japan, and Taiwan-China all show that power politics dominate and the politics of memory is highly contentious. This article examines the possibilities and limitations of human rights cooperation in East Asia, focusing on the two recent human rights crises in the region: (1) the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on human rights and (2) the military coup and subsequent human rights violations in Myanmar.⋯
