Abstract

Has trade openness made East Asian countries more or less democratic? Although numerous studies have explored the economic effects of market integration in the region, few have systematically examined the political consequences of trade liberalization. This research extends previous work by empirically investigating not only direct but also indirect links between trade globalization and democracy in East Asia. I find that the direct negative effect of trade integration on democracy is mitigated by its indirect positive impact via inequality. Empirical evidence is provided by the three-stage least squares method and pooled time-series data from 1975 to 2015 for 13 East Asian states.

东亚的贸易开放、不平等与民主

贸易开放是否使东亚国家更民主了?虽然许多研究探讨了该区域市场一体化的经济影响，但很少有研究系统地审查了贸易自由化的政治后果。本研究对东亚地区贸易全球化与民主之间的直接和间接关系进行了实证研究。我发现贸易一体化对民主的直接负面影响被其通过不平等产生的间接积极影响所缓解。本文采用三阶段最小二乘法和汇总了东亚13个国家1975 - 2015年的时间序列数据，提供了实证证据。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
