<제8차 콜로키움> The 8th Colloquium 고려대학교 정치외교학과 <BK21 한국정치학의 세계화 교육연구단, Globalizing Korean Political Science Corps>와 평화연구소는 아래와 같이 제8차 콜로키움을 개최합니다 * 강연주제: "Vote Shifting and Democratic Consolidation in East Asian Democracies: Evidence from Korea and Taiwan" * 강연초록(Abstract): This paper examines why voters in young East Asian democracies shift their electoral support between elections. Complementing the conventional Asian identity voting literature, I argue that vote shifting is a form of rational voting involving critical uations of government performance and careful weighing of policy issues. Utilizing a transition model with Korean and Taiwanese survey data, I find fairly strong empirical support for my hypotheses. I extend these findings and show that the determinants of vote shifting also represent critical forces conducive to citizens' support for democracy. Through these inquiries, this paper contributes to comparative democratization theory with a new vantage point for addressing both the electoral and attitudinal aspects of the democratization process. * 강연자: · Prof. Eric Chang - 미시간 주립대(Michigan State University) 정치학과 교수 - Ph.D., Political Science, UCLA, 2003 - Research Interests and Teaching Fields: Comparative Political Economy, Political Institutions, Political Corruption, Democratization, and Applied Econometrics. 1. 일시: 2010년 4월 26일(월), 오후 5:00-6:30 Date & Time: Monday, April 26, 2010, 5:00-6:30PM 2. 장소: 우당교양관 110호 Venue: Room #110, WooDang Hall, Korea University 3. 강연일정 Schedule for Lecture 5:00-5:10 개회사 및 강연자 소개 Welcoming Remarks and Introduction of Prof. Eric Chang (associate professor, Dept. of Political Science, Michigan State University) 사회(Moderator): 권혁용 교수, Hyeok-Yong Kwon (Prof., Korea University of Political Science and International Relations) 5:10-5:50 주제발표 Presentation Lecturer: Prof. Eric Chang Title: "Vote Shifting and Democratic Consolidation in East Asian Democracies: Evidence from Korea and Taiwan" 5:50-6:30 질의응답 Questions & Answers 4. 강연자 소개 Lecturer's Brief Bio Eric Chang is an associate professor of Political Science at Michigan State University. He studies comparative political economy, political institutions, political corruption, and democratization. More precisely, he focuses on the economic consequences of electoral competition within different institutional contexts. Other research topics extending from this core theoretical framework include government spending, income inequality, and democratic consolidation.
