Often referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations. Over the last 30 years, the TTCSP has developed and led a series of global initiatives that have helped bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environmental issues, information and society, poverty alleviation, and healthcare and global health. These international collaborative efforts are designed to establish regional and international networks of policy institutes and communities that improve policy making while strengthening democratic institutions and civil societies around the world. ABOUT THE LAUDER INSTITUTE The Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies offers an M.A. in international studies and conducts fundamental and policy-oriented research on current economic, political, and business issues. It organizes an annual conference that brings academics, practitioners, and policymakers together to examine global challenges such as financial risks, sustainability, inequality, and the future of the state.

Spearheaded by Dr. James McGann of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies 5 Program at the University of Pennsylvania, the goal of the project was to create a comprehensive database of think tanks located within the Republic of Korea (ROK). ROK was chosen as a subject of research because it has traditionally been under-researched in global think tank data collection. The mission of this project was to determine the number of and identify think tanks currently operating in ROK. Moreover, team members were tasked with conducting granular research on think tanks within the region, including their location, their affiliations, and the topics most frequently researched by think tanks. Another objective of this mapping project was to conduct regional analyses on the Asia Pacific region in general. Specifically, information collected from think tanks in ROK by the Korea Mapping Team was compared with the information collected from the China, Japan, India and Taiwan Regional Mapping teams to produce a regional analysis. Initially, project leaders utilized the Internet and targeted keyword google searches as a starting point for data collection. Aided by Hankyung Magazine and the database they provided, the team began by compiling a spreadsheet of prominent South Korean think tanks. The team then looked at the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program 2019 Global Go-To Index in its data collection phase to find think tanks that had previously been rated by TTCSP in the region. Finally, team members looked at top universities, government institutions, and for profit corporations around the country to find think tanks. Through a combination of the above methods, team members were able to compile an extensive list of top institutions in the region. The Hankyung list, in tandem with our knowledge of think tanks from the Index, was used to create Internet searches to find affiliated think tanks. Email and contact information the team found was located via the publicly available websites of think tanks in ROK. Throughout the course of the project, team members compiled a literature review which discusses the history and development of research institutions in ROK. The literature review was also intended to discuss the function of think tanks in public policy in the region. Ultimately, the team sought to construct as extensive a list as possible of think tanks in ROK. The Korea Mapping team looked to create a representative sample and then draw conclusions about the demographics of ROK think tanks. The team found 300 think tanks over the course of the project. Analyses were then conducted on the information collected. Our analyses looked at the top three policy areas that think tanks in the region research, the years in which the think tanks were established, their affiliations, and their locations within the ROK. Through these analyses we endeavor to present a more complete picture of the think tank industry within the Republic of Korea and the Asia-Pacific region at large. Going forward, we have a solid base on which the TTCSP program can build to explore more think tanks and in greater depths. 6 Literature Review This literature review will take an overview approach to think tanks in the Republic of Korea. This first section will discuss Juan Felipe Lopez Aymes’s interpretation of a “Knowledge Regime” in the context of South Korea’s think tank development from 1945, the first stage of think tank development, to the early 1960s. The following section will provide a timeline that delineates the major points of think tank development and think tank-government relations from the 1960s to the middle of the think tank boom in Korea, the 1990s. “Knowledge Regime” & South Korean Think Tank Development In his piece, “Formation and Evolution of the Knowledge Regime and the Development Process in Korea,” Juan Felipe Lopez Aymes explores the relation between the political system to its knowledge regime. Aymes defines a knowledge regime as “a set of actors, organizations, and institutions that produce and disseminate policy ideas that affect how policy-making and production regimes are organized and operate” (Aymes, 2014). Knowledge regimes in the context of this report are think tanks. This literature review will explore the typologies, and development of think tanks in the Republic of Korea. During the post-colonial era, the Republic of Korea was under a very centralized and dictatorial leadership. Economic development and public policy issues were in the strict hands of the government alone, with some outside input from US officials (Aymes, 97). This changed under the presidency of Park Chung-Hee which is considered the beginning of the development state of think tanks (Aymes, 2014). During this era the first think tank was formed, the Korean Development Institute (KDI). It was established in 1971 and allowed for a non-government structured entity to have a voice in government affairs (Aymes, 2014). It must be noted that KDI is a government funded entity, not a part of the formal structure of government. However it had more autonomy than most institutions during its founding. KDI functioned as a fount of economic policy research. The success of KDI paved the way for more institutions focused on economics to be founded. Think Tanks at this time, were a departure from the centralized policymaking that Park Chung-Hee was known for (Aymes, 2014). In the 1990s, the democratization era in ROK, the space for ideas and their production increased again. This is credited to political changes that occurred in the late 80s, when the Republic of Korea had free & open elections in 1989. With the new government and more expanse for ideas, new organizations not dedicated solely to the economy emerged. Such institutions include the Citizens Coalition for Economic Justice (CCEJ) (Aymes, 2014). CCEJ and NGOs were new actors in public policy and in the creation of ideas and their dissemination. However, the consistent issue of gaining access to policy makers persists to this day. There is 7 still a political culture in which the president’s vision for the country, particularly the economy, is predominant. Think tanks with access to the president and policymakers research and formulate policy to make the vision possible (Aymes, 2014). Government-Think Tank Relations & Think Tanks’ Effect on Public Policy In this section, we will explore the relation between Korean think tanks and the government, the role of Korean think tanks, and the effect of think tanks on public policy from the 1960s through the present. We break down think tanks into the following affiliation categories: national government, local government, private, and scholarly think tanks. Within the category of private think tanks, we provide further categorization as civil society, political party, or corporate.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

It was launched to foster cooperation on political reform, economic liberalisation, and social issues between the European Union (EU) and the countries on the southern and eastern rim of the Mediterranean (Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey). Members are commit- ted to implementing reforms and continuing dialogue. The agreement calls for reform in three areas, known as the political, economic, and social chapters. The first objective is the creation of a common area of peace and stability through the reinforcement of political and security dialogues based on fundamental principles such as respect for human rights and democracy (Political and Security Chapter). The second objective calls for the construction of a zone of shared pros- perity through an economic and financial partnership that includes the gradual establishment of a free zone by 2010.

  • Inequality, Identity, and the Long-Run Evolution of Political Cleavages in Israel 1949-2019

The heterogeneous ethnic, cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds of Israelis created a range of political cleavages that evolved throughout its history and continue to shape its political climate and its society today. De- spite Israel's exceptional characteristics, we find similar patterns to those found for France, the UK and the US. Notably, we find that in the 1960s{1970s, the vote for left-wing parties was associated with lower social class voters. It has gradually become associated with high social class voters during the late 1970s and later. We also find a weak inter-relationship between inequality and political outcomes, suggesting that despite the social class cleavage, identity-based or \tribal" voting is still dominant in Israeli politics.

  • The Increasingly Polarised and Fragmented Party System in Israel Will Make It Difficult for a Stable Government to Emerge from This Month’S Elections
    blo gs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2013/01/14/israel-elections-2013-israeli-party-system/ The increasingly polarised and fragmented party system in Israel will make it difficult for a stable government to emerge from this month’s elections. Blog Admin Israel’s next parliamentary elections are due to be held on 22 January. As part of EUROPP’s coverage of the European neighbourhood, André Krouwel and Daniel Rajmil give an overview of the country’s highly fragmented party system, noting that the results are likely to be significantly different from those in the last election in 2009. New parties have emerged in the last four years, while the largest party in the current parliament, Kadima, could well lose all of its seats. Of all established democracies, Israel has the highest electoral change per election over the post-war period. Only new democracies in Eastern Europe are more electorally volatile. On average almost a quarter of the Israeli electorate shif ts party allegiance per election. One of the main reasons f or this exceptional electoral volatility is that Israeli elections are held under a system of proportional representation (PR). This means that many political parties will enter the f ray, as it is relatively easy to enter parliament compared to majoritarian electoral systems. Parties will gain a number of seats equal to the proportion of the vote they gained in the election, albeit that Israel has introduced a 2 per cent threshold to avoid too much parliamentary f ragmentation. Nevertheless, over the last decade between 12 and 15 parties entered the Knesset in each election.

  • Geographical Representation Under Proportional
    CSD Center for the Study of Democracy An Organized Research Unit University of California, Irvine www.democ.uci.edu It is frequently assumed that proportional representation electoral systems do not provide geographical representation. For example, if we consider the literature on electoral reform, advocates of retaining single-member district plurality elections often cite the failure of proportional representation to give voters local representation (Norton, 1997; Hain, 1983; see Farrell, 2001). Even advocates of proportional representation often recognize the lack of district representation as a failure that has to be addressed by modifying their proposals (McLean, 1991; Dummett, 1997).1 However, there has been little empirical research into whether proportional representation elections produce results that are geographically representative. This paper considers geographical representation in two of the most “extreme” cases of proportional representation, Israel and the Netherlands. These countries have proportional representation with a single national constituency, and thus lack institutional features that force geographical representation. They are thus limiting cases, providing evidence of the type of geographical patterns we are likely to see when there are no institutions that enforce specific geographical patterns. We find that the legislatures of Israel and the Netherlands are surprisingly representative geographically, although not perfectly so. Furthermore, we find an interesting pattern.

    THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF Middle East INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Programme Briefing Paper No. 3 MARCH 2003 Doves Vote Hawk: The January 2003 Elections in Israel Yossi Mekelberg Introduction Israeli elections are not renowned for producing conclusive results. Observers are usually as perplexed on the day after them as they were on the day before. Nevertheless, this was not the case on 28 January 2003, when the Likud Party led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and the right wing in general, emerged as clear winners. In contrast, the Labour Party and its allies on the left suffered a painful defeat. Opinion polls had consistently predicted a Likud victory, though the margin of that victory was a surprise to most. Yet a comfortable result at the ballot box does not guarantee the quick and easy formation of a new government.
