Hwang, Wonjae	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

South Korea has traditionally maintained close ties with the United States, especially for external security, while more recently it has become closer to China, mainly for economic reasons. In this article we examine whether growing economic ties between South Korea and China promote their cooperation and common policy preferences and simultaneously weaken Korea-US relations. We examine the voting congruence of South Korea and China in the United Nations General Assembly between 1991 and 2012 and find no clear evidence that economic integration promotes congruence. Rather, South Korea's policy preferences are usually determined by independent consideration of issues.

External crisis, information cues, and presidential popularity in Korea, 1993–2008 / Lee, Junhan; Hwang, Wonjae

Summary/Abstract

As information cues grow diverse, the public becomes better equipped with the information necessary to independently judge external crises, and thus their support for the president is less likely to be influenced by elite discourse. Our analysis of South Korean presidential popularity (1993–2008) confirms this expectation.

Partisan effects of voter turnout in Korean elections, 1992–2010 / Lee, Junhan; Hwang, Wonjae

Hwang, Wonjae	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication	2012.
Summary/Abstract	This paper explores the partisan effects of voter turnout in 12 Korean elections. We argue theoretically and show empirically that hypothetical increases in turnout generate benefits for left-wing or minor parties, rather than right-wing or major parties. Complete voter turnout may have changed the actual electoral results in close elections.
