Title ProperPartisanship and Democratization
LanguageENG
AuthorChull Shin, Doh ;  Tusalem, Rollin F
Summary / Abstract (Note)How do attachments to political parties among the mass publics of East Asia affect the process of democratization in the region? Analyses of the East Asia Barometer surveys reveal that partisanship motivates East Asians to endorse the democratic performance of their political system and embrace democracy as the best possible system of government. These findings accord, by and large, with the socialization, cognitive dissonance, and rational choice theories of partisanship
