| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article compares anti-American beef politics in South Korea (2008) and
Taiwan (2009) to solve the puzzle of why two similar social protests resulted in
dissimilar outcomes. Given the highly comparable political contexts of conservative
ascendancy, we argue that cultural factors determined the movement trajectories.
The presence of anti-Americanism and the centrality of beef in the national diet
produced a strong anti-government movement in Korea but not in Taiwan. |
