While there are many lessons from this period of often unruly and uncivil political contestation, this paper concentrates on four that bear on several assumptions associated with the broad literature on democratic transitions. These are: (1) the political intransigence of a conservative elite unwilling to accommodate the rise of electoral democracy and subaltern claims for political voice; (2) the challenges posed to notions that the middle class and civil society have certain “historical roles” as the ballast for democratization; (3) the capacity for so-called independent institutions and agencies, created as checks-and-balances to be captured; and (4) the link between high rates of inequality and political rebellion cannot be assumed. Keywords: collective action, democratization, monarchy, antidemocratic movements, middle class, inequality WITH THE EXCEPTIONS of Singapore and Brunei, each of the countries of ASEAN has experienced regime challenging political protests in recent decades. Thailand has experienced more than most. The period since late 2005 has been unusual as one of essentially nonstop protest, which only came to an end on May 22, 2014, when the military overthrew a pro-Thaksin Shinawatra elected government. Since the coup, all protest has been banned and political repression has been extensive. Volume 50:11 (2014) 26 K. HEWISON Thailand’s street protests have involved a range of actors, from small ginger groups to huge and aggressive antigovernment protests that have gone on for several months. Throughout the period, however, the most significant and lengthy actions have been by the red-shirted supporters of Thaksin and his various political parties, and those by royalists, often identified as yellow shirts. Both groups have been able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of supporters. Thailand’s political protests present an opportunity for considering the lessons of collective action in the context of a nation where democratization has been debated, challenged, and discarded. Before turning to the lessons, however, some background is required. Context In the depths of the Asian Economic Crisis, Thailand’s parliament adopted the 1997 constitution, which had been debated since 1992. This constitution was the first to involve a consultative process, even if it remained elite-dominated. The new constitution was innovative in that it took seriously human rights, decentralization, and the establishment of checks-and-balances. The latter were meant to combat the cycle of “money politics” that saw politicians accumulating ill-gotten funds to buy votes and parliamentarians (MPs) in elections. A defining feature of the constitution was the effort to establish a more stable form of representative government. It did this by making the executive stronger and by establishing a greater degree on party control over MPs. The aim was to prevent “party-hopping” by MPs and to increase the longevity of elected governments. In essence, the desire was to establish a stable, two- (or three-) party system. As events unfolded, Thaksin was the only prime minister to be elected under the 1997 constitution. He convincingly won polls in 2001 and again in 2005. That constitution was thrown out in the 2006 military coup, which then resulted in the 2007 constitution, essentially drawn up to prevent any Thaksin-like domination of electoral politics. However, as pro-Thaksin ASIAN STUDIES: Journal of Critical Perspectives on Asia Thailand: The Lessons of Protest 73 parties unexpectedly continued to win substantial election victories, the military threw out its own 2007 constitution with the 2014 coup. The 2006 coup was preceded by several months of street protests against the Thaksin government, led by the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD), a loose alliance of civil society, businesses,

  • CFP: Special Issue for Journal of Popular Film and Television: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21St Century
    H-Asia CFP: Special Issue for Journal of Popular Film and Television: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21st Century Discussion published by Jihoon Kim on Monday, August 8, 2016 Call for Submissions to a Special Issue: Korean Popular Cinema and Television in the 21st Century Edited by Jihoon Kim, Dept. of Film Studies, Chung-ang University, South Korea During the last several years, both Korean cinema and Korean television dramas (and K-pop tracks/stars as well, to be sure) have gained not simply dramatically increased popularity beyond the Pan-Asian scope of the first ‘Korean wave (hallyu)’ (across North and South Americas and Europe), but also critical attention in the academia of cinema studies, cultural studies, and East Asian/Korean studies. Despite these situations, previous studies on Korean cinema and television have highlighted only a limited set of texts: despite a couple of recent edited collections dedicated to nationally popular genre films such as horror and film noir, most scholarly writings on Korean cinema have still privileged films directed by so-called ‘auteurs’ (Kim Ki-duk, Hong Sang-soo, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, and Lee Chang-dong) that were already established in global film culture and academia, thus leaving unexamined a series of popular Korean films that have not simply had enormous commercial success in the domestic box office but also had notable cultural influences on Korean audiences’ collective desire, historical imaginary, and optical unconscious. Likewise, most of the existing studies on Korean television have discussed only a few canonical television dramas in the first Korean wave era.

  • Cultural Production in Transnational Culture: an Analysis of Cultural Creators in the Korean Wave
    International Journal of Communication 15(2021), 1810–1835 1932–8036/20210005 Cultural Production in Transnational Culture: An Analysis of Cultural Creators in the Korean Wave DAL YONG JIN1 Simon Fraser University, Canada By employing cultural production approaches in conjunction with the global cultural economy, this article attempts to determine the primary characteristics of the rapid growth of local cultural industries and the global penetration of Korean cultural content. It documents major creators and their products that are received in many countries to identify who they are and what the major cultural products are. It also investigates power relations between cultural creators and the surrounding sociocultural and political milieu, discussing how cultural creators develop local popular culture toward the global cultural markets. I found that cultural creators emphasize the importance of cultural identity to appeal to global audiences as well as local audiences instead of emphasizing solely hybridization. Keywords: cultural production, Hallyu, cultural creators, transnational culture Since the early 2010s, the Korean Wave (Hallyu in Korean) has become globally popular, and media scholars (Han, 2017; T. J. Yoon & Kang, 2017) have paid attention to the recent growth of Hallyu in many parts of the world. Although the influence of Western culture has continued in the Korean cultural market as well as elsewhere, local cultural industries have expanded the exportation of their popular culture to several regions in both the Global South and the Global North. Social media have especially played a major role in disseminating Korean culture (Huang, 2017; Jin & Yoon, 2016), and Korean popular culture is arguably reaching almost every corner of the world.

  • The Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of Designing and Assessing Assignments
    The Paralegal American Association for Paralegal Education Volume 32, No. 2 FALL/WINTER 2017 The Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How of Designing and Assessing Assignments See article on page 12 Open Letter to the AAfPE Membership As you know, the AAfPE bylaws were amended last year to add the words “or legal studies” to the definition of Affiliate Membership, paving the way for AAfPE to seek out new affiliate members that do not offer paralegal programs but instead offer extensive legal studies programs within their institutions. Previously, the bylaws of the association prevented any institution or organization that did not offer a paralegal education program from joining the association, which precluded a large number of vocational schools, colleges, universities, and other higher-education institutions throughout the country that offer extensive programs in legal studies from AAfPE membership. By approving the change, AAfPE members acknowledged the association’s need to not only increase membership numbers but also bring in a diverse body of membership that would contribute to the collective knowledge base and strength of the association—both key factors in AAfPE’s long-term viability. Today, AAfPE launches a new logo, reflecting the membership’s decision to include both paralegal and legal studies programs. This new logo represents the next step in AAfPE’s mission to promote quality paralegal education, develop educational standards, and encourage professional growth, in order to prepare graduates to perform a significant role in the delivery of legal services. It is an essential piece of AAfPE’s plan to grow membership in both numbers and diversity.

  • The Changing Face of Korean Cinema, 1960 to 2015 / Brian Yecies and Ae-Gyung Shim
    The Changing Face of Korean Cinema The rapid development of Korean cinema during the decades of the 1960s and 2000s reveals a dynamic cinematic history that runs parallel to the nation’s politi- cal, social, economic, and cultural transformation during these formative periods. This book examines the ways in which South Korean cinema has undergone a transformation from an antiquated local industry in the 1960s into a thriving international cinema in the twenty-first century. It investigates the circumstances that allowed these two eras to emerge as creative watersheds and demonstrates the forces behind Korea’s positioning of itself as an important contributor to regional and global culture, especially its interplay with Japan, Greater China, and the United States. Beginning with an explanation of the understudied operations of the film industry during its 1960s take-off, it then offers insight into the challenges that producers, directors, and policy makers faced in the 1970s and 1980s during the most volatile part of Park Chung Hee’s authoritarian rule and the subsequent Chun Doo-hwan military government. It moves on to explore the film industry’s profes- sionalization in the 1990s and subsequent international expansion in the 2000s. In doing so, it explores the nexus and tensions of film policy, producing, directing, genres, and the internationalization of Korean cinema over half a century. By highlighting the recent transnational turn in national cinemas, this book underscores the impact of developments pioneered by Korean cinema on the transformation of “Planet Hallyuwood”. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Korean Studies and Film Studies.

Abstract The focus of this dissertation is to show how the media of contemporary Korean popular culture, specifically films, are transformed into “hybrid cultural forms” through the practice of genre transformation. Since the early 21st century, South Korean popular culture has been increasingly spreading across the globe. Despite its growing attention and popularity, Korean pop culture has been criticized for its explicit copying of Western culture with no unique cultural identity. Others view the success of Korean media, both its creative mimicry and its critique of the West, as a new hybrid form that offers the opportunity for reassertion of local identity as well as challenging the global hegemony of the West.
