  • Electoral Politics in South Korea
    South Korea: Aurel Croissant Electoral Politics in South Korea Aurel Croissant Introduction In December 1997, South Korean democracy faced the fifteenth presidential elections since the Republic of Korea became independent in August 1948. For the first time in almost 50 years, elections led to a take-over of power by the opposition. Simultaneously, the election marked the tenth anniversary of Korean democracy, which successfully passed its first ‘turnover test’ (Huntington, 1991) when elected President Kim Dae-jung was inaugurated on 25 February 1998. For South Korea, which had had six constitutions in only five decades and in which no president had left office peacefully before democratization took place in 1987, the last 15 years have marked a period of unprecedented democratic continuity and political stability. Because of this, some observers already call South Korea ‘the most powerful democracy in East Asia after Japan’ (Diamond and Shin, 2000: 1). The victory of the opposition over the party in power and, above all, the turnover of the presidency in 1998 seem to indicate that Korean democracy is on the road to full consolidation (Diamond and Shin, 2000: 3). This chapter will focus on the role elections and the electoral system have played in the political development of South Korea since independence, and especially after democratization in 1987-88. Five questions structure the analysis: 1. How has the electoral system developed in South Korea since independence in 1948? 2. What functions have elections and electoral systems had in South Korea during the last five decades? 3. What have been the patterns of electoral politics and electoral reform in South Korea? 4.

  • A Sociocultural Analysis of Korean Sport for International Development Initiatives
    A Sociocultural Analysis of Korean Sport for International Development Initiatives Dongkyu Na Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human Kinetics School of Human Kinetics Faculty of Health Sciences University of Ottawa © Dongkyu Na, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 Korean Sport for International Development ii Abstract This dissertation focuses on the following questions: 1) What is the structure of the Korean sport for international development discourse? 2) How are the historical transformations of particular rules of formation manifested in the discourse of Korean sport for international development? 3) What knowledge, ideas, and strategies make up Korean sport for international development? And 4) what are the ways in which these components interact with the institutional aspirations of the Korean government, directed by the official development assistance goals, the foreign policy and diplomatic agenda, and domestic politics? To address these research questions, I focus my analysis on the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and its 30 years of expertise in designing and implementing sport and physical activity–related programs and aid projects. For this research project, I collected eight different sets of KOICA documents published from 1991 to 2017 as primary sources and two different sets of supplementary documents including government policy documents and newspaper articles.

Below are summaries of some current projects they are working on. For more information about specific faculty members, please refer to the faculty listing on our department website: http://www.odu.edu/al/comm/facstaff_comm.html. 2011-2012 Graduate Faculty Bob Arnett, Associate Professor of Communication Ph.D., University of Southern Mississippi My research has focused on film. My early work focused on screenwriters (emphasis on narrative), but my more recent work deconstructs films from a critical perspective shaped by cultural factors. For example, James Bond being “remixed” as a superhero and the role of place/non-place in Michael Mann films. Other current projects include an analysis, written with Burt St. John, of how the National Association of Manufacturers used promotional films to promote industry as a person and adapting my Michael Mann work for book on Mann’s films. Tim Anderson, Assistant Professor of Communication Ph.D., Northwestern University Dr. Anderson's research specializes in researching how new media practices and technologies transform, affect and negotiate those institutions and practices that make music popular. He has also been a regular contributor to the online journal Flow and in 2006 accepted a position to be come a charter member of the MediaCommons editorial board. Dr. Anderson's current research is on how the American music industry has had to re-articulate the vision of musicians, audiences and its products in the wake of recent social and technological changes such as the rise of file sharing, the ubiquity of broadband networks and the rise of online social networking platforms as part of our daily lives.

  • Imposing Nationalism on Diaspora Peoples: Korean Chinese in the Master Narrative of Chinese Nationalism
    Imposing Nationalism on Diaspora Peoples | 56 Imposing Nationalism on Diaspora Peoples: Korean Chinese in the Master Narrative of Chinese Nationalism Peng Hai, UCLA ABSTRACT One of the most challenging aspects of the historiography of modern nation states is how to write diaspora peoples of an immigrant past into the national history, especially when the diaspora settlement pre-dates the birth of the modern nation state itself. The Korean Chinese as a minority nationality in today’s People’s Republic of China exemplify the myriad issues that occur when nationalistic historiography seeks to override and sanitize an uneven past. By looking at the impulse of Chinese nationalistic historiography in appropriating the subaltern past of Korean Chinese, this paper exposes and problematizes the master narrative of nationalism in history writing. Master narratives, by imposing "nationalism," a prototype modern set of values, retrospectively on a chaotic and contingent past render diaspora peoples particularly vulnerable to the sways of nationalism. Historians of diaspora peoples should therefore be critically aware that the past is full of contingencies that must be contextualized. Keywords: Diaspora Nationality; Tacit Taboos; Nationalistic Historiography; Chinese Nationalism; Chinese Ethnic Minorities; Korean Chinese; Master Narratives INTRODUCTION Typing the characters for “Yanbian independence” (yanbian duli) into China’s main search engine Baidu.com produces results that hint at the debate over whether or not Korean Chinese in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture want independence. The so-called Yanbian Independence Incident referred to in numerous blogs and Bulletin Board System (BBS) discussion forums is hard to pin down. As a matter of fact, one can easily get so lost in these pseudo-positions either accusing the Korean Chinese of their secessionist inclinations or coming to their defense that the alleged independence incident itself is ultimately subsumed if not simply non-existent.

  • Nationalism in Crisis: the Reconstruction of South Korean Nationalism in Korean History Textbooks (Han’Guksa)
    Nationalism in Crisis: The Reconstruction of South Korean Nationalism in Korean History Textbooks (Han’guksa) by Yun Sik Hwang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Yun Sik Hwang 2016 Nationalism in Crisis: The Reconstruction of South Korean Nationalism in Korean History Textbooks (Han’guksa) Yun Sik Hwang Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2016 Abstract South Korea has undergone considerable transitions between dictatorship and democracy under Korea’s extraordinary status as a divided nation. The nature of this division developed an intense political contestation in South Korea between the political Left who espouse a critical view of top-down national history, and the Right who value the official view of South Korea’s national history. Whether it is a national history or nationalist history, in terms of conceptions of national identity and nationalism in relation to Korean history, disagreement continues. The purpose of this thesis is not to support nor refute the veracity of either political position, which is divided between a sensationalized political Right and a caricaturized Left. The aim of this project is to evaluate a series of developments in Korean history textbooks that can be seen as a recent attempt to build new national identities. ii Acknowledgments There are countless people I am indebted as I completed this Master’s thesis. First and foremost, I would like to thank my professor and supervisor, Andre Schmid for his charismatic and friendly nature for the past 7 years.

  • Transformation of South Korean Politics: Implications for U.S.-Korea Relations
    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES THE TRANSFORMATION OF SOUTH KOREAN POLITICS: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S.-KOREA RELATIONS Dr. Sook-Jong Lee 2003-2004 Korea Visiting Fellow September 2004 The Brookings Institution 1775 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, DC 20036-2188 TEL: 202-797-6000 FAX: 202-797-6004 WWW.BROOKINGS.EDU 1 The speed and scope of South Korea’s political development in recent years have been as impressive as its economic development in previous decades. Since the transition to democracy occurred, with the belated arrival of political liberalization and a return to direct presidential elections in 1987, virtually all realms of Korean society have democratized. • In the political realm, under the Kim Dae-jung government, power shifted from the Kyongsang area in the southeast to Cholla in the southwest. This horizontal power shift is important for ending the political dominance of the Kyongsang area. Regional competition in the public policy-making process has become more democratic. • Both the Roh government and National Assembly have become more accountable for the public’s welfare and are better monitored by the Korean people. The power of public authority was often unchecked and misused in the past. Now Korean voters and civic representatives monitor whether public officials and assemblymen represent the public’s interest and observe their due responsibilities. • In terms of civilian-military relations, the government has become fully civilian, as the Korean military was completely depoliticized in the early 1990s. The history of former generals seizing the presidency was denounced and two former presidents, Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, were convicted of crimes and sent to prison.

In just over a year, between April 2016 and May 2017, a series of dra- matic events roiled the domestic politics of South Korea (hereinafter Korea). Things began normally enough: An election to fill all 300 seats in the unicameral National Assembly went forward as scheduled on 13 April 2016. A presidential balloting was set to follow in due course near the close of 2017 as the incumbent, Park Geun Hye of the right-of-center Saenuri (New Frontier) Party,1 finished the single five-year term that the constitution allows. In late October 2016, however, a lightning bolt of scandal electri- fied the scene.

  • East Asian Welfare States in Transition Challenges And
    1 Economic Crisis and Welfare Reform East Asian Over the past fifteen years there has been a growing interest in East Asian societies among policy-makers and scholars in the West. This interest has stemmed Welfare from the extraordinary economic success of East Asian countries, but has also led a number of scholars and policy-makers to study their welfare systems (e.g. Jones 1993; Kwon 1997; Goodman et al. 1998). For States in example, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Governor of Hong Kong Chris Patten have shown a keen interest in the 'magic' combination of economic Transition growth and a low level of welfare expenditure. After the spectacular financial crisis at the end of Challenges and 1997, the appeal of this combination became a thing of the past. Amid such economic turmoil, there has Opportunities also been a call for reform of East Asian social wel- fare systems. It seems clear that social welfare reform Huck-ju Kwon* is a prerequisite for successful economic restructur- ing. In this article wewillfirst seek to identify the strengths and drawbacks of the East Asian welfare states. Despite economic crisis, the East Asian wel- fare states must have had strengths which worked in the era of economic development, and future welfare reform must be grounded on these strengths. Second, this articlewillpoint out the pressures (endogenous or exogenous to the welfare state) for change, especially in the light of the economic crisis and subsequent restructuring. Finally, itwilladdress the question of whether the low spending regimes of the East Asian welfare states can be maintained.

  • What Is the “College-Educated Voter”?
    What is the “College-Educated Voter”? A Framework for Analysis and Discussion Of 2020 Voter Data. Irene Harwarth, PhD Cynthia Miller, PhD [email protected] [email protected] Harwarth and Miller 2 Abstract The 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections brought unprecedented attention to political polling and especially to analysis of voter preferences by education level. In addition to affecting collection of voter data, how a survey defines and categorizes college attendance and completion and whether participants are presented with levels to define their educational attainment or whether they self-identify, can also affect analysis of voter data collected in surveys of voter preference. This paper examines the current polls leading up to the 2020 election and the impact that defining education may have on predicting outcomes. Keywords: Election Polling, Polling variables, Presidential Election, Voting, Education, College- educated. Harwarth and Miller 3 The 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections brought unprecedented attention to political polling and especially to analysis of voter preferences by education level. Americans widely viewed the presidential polling in 2016 as problematic as most polls predicted a Democratic win contradictory to the eventual election results. The quality of political polling received more attention in 2018 and was the focus of several articles not only in academic journals but also in the mainstream media from 2017 through 2020.1 2 3 4 While there is evidence that presidential polling at the national level in the 2016 election was close to the results of the popular vote, the swing states (those that swung the Electoral College), were not accurately predicted in their polling.
