Which partisan government's housing policy has been most effective in stabilizing the market? To answer this question, we discuss the different partisanships of Korea's conservative and progressive parties, their policy preferences, and the previous governments’ key housing policies. Thereafter, we concretize the research methodology and examine the housing volatility witnessed since 1987, using the Markov-switching regression. The results reveal that the market was highly unstable when the progressive government actively promoted regulation in favor of “governmentalist” partisanship. Moreover, the policy was mostly effective in lowering apartment prices in Seoul, which was the regulation's primary target all along. Based on these findings, we conclude with some policy implications of the study. Given that governmentalist partisanship heightens volatility in the housing market, housing market policies should be designed to hedge the negative externalities of partisanship.","PeriodicalId":35790,"journal":{"name":"World Affairs","volume":"186 1","pages":"776 - 805"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47599354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BOOK REVIEW: Multilateral Sanctions Revisited: Lessons Learned from Margaret Doxey 书评:《重新审视多边制裁:从玛格丽特·多克西那里学到的教训》

The 16 women who contribute to the book Multilateral Sanctions Revisited (Charron and Portela 2022) honor Doxey’s scholarship in a time of re-emerging global tensions. Indeed, since the 2014 annexation of Crimea, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has imposed only two new sanctions regimes, on South Sudan (in 2015) and Mali (in 2017). That is a steep decline from the peak of United Nations (UN) sanctions activity in the 1990s and 2000s. This engaging book makes an important contribution to the literature by recognizing two diverging but interrelated trends. Contemporary sanctions are smarter than ever, but they fail to make up for the eroding moral legitimacy of measures imposed outside of the framework of the UN. First, the sophistication of targeted sanctions increasingly constrains targets, pushing them further into the margins of the international system. Thanks to the contributions of panels of experts, financial institutions, counterterrorism intelligence, certification schemes, and the ombudsperson, the senders of sanctions stay on top of a complex cat-and-mouse game with the individuals, entities, and regimes that try to evade them. Zuzana Hudáková notes that scholars recognize more than 100 types of targeted sanctions, labeled in terms of their targets, activities, commodities, economic sectors, or geographical regions (Biersteker et al. 2018).","PeriodicalId":35790,"journal":{"name":"World Affairs","volume":"186 1","pages":"830 - 833"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47402197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its analysis of communication and discourse is particularly compelling and extremely astute and revealing of deep, complex, and nuanced social attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and emotions. Although clearly oriented as a work of sociology, social psychologists will find much of interest here, and Boersema’s (2022) analysis of emotions—individual and collective—and how they inform Afrikaaner identity and white supremacy are another unique and particularly well-executed feature of the book. Its broad reach and the relevance of its scholarship to so many different fields is one of the book’s most notable strengths and exceptional qualities that makes it stand out in the field of African Studies. Boersema is a keen observer of South Africa and South Africans with extensive knowledge based on long-term field work that took place over many years and multiple trips. His knowledge is grounded in substantive and serious engagement that informs formidable scholarship. Written with insight, clarity, and verve, this is a work of genuinely innovative scholarship that contributes substantially and consequently to understanding South Africa’s history and contemporary social reality and is one of the most important works of scholarship on South Africa in recent years. It illustrates with lucid analysis the tenacity of racism, its malleability and adaptability, and the ways in which culture and discourse recreate racism in new forms, defend and justify it, and do so often through the strategic and manipulative use of anti-racist discourse and","PeriodicalId":35790,"journal":{"name":"World Affairs","volume":"186 1","pages":"825 - 829"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49249471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Superficially the new situation has been triggered by Chinese territorial claims centering around the “Nine Dash Line.” While there is a large body of literature digging out China's strategic interests behind its increasing assertiveness in the contested waters, it falls short of an overall investigation of Beijing's maritime grand strategy—in which the South China Sea occupies a critical position. The aim of this article is therefore to examine the geostrategic, geopolitical, and geoeconomic significance of the South China Sea which comes to the fore in China's grand strategy. It argues that these sea waters are critical in Beijing's plans to establish and protect its status as a global maritime power in light of the sea energy reservoir, fisheries, and other vital maritime economic interests to reinforce its economic powerhouse. Beijing's power projection and its increasing assertiveness in the contested waters have also served in the pursuit of controlling vital sea lanes of communication in the Indian Ocean. Significantly, the South China Sea preoccupies Beijing's leadership's strategic pursuit of being a global sea power as a balancing act vis-a-vis the United States in the Indo-Pacific region and intensifying the blockade of Taiwan.","PeriodicalId":35790,"journal":{"name":"World Affairs","volume":"186 1","pages":"687 - 716"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46078110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
