Argentina managed not only to preserve its democracy but also to improve its citizens' level of support for it during the crisis. Three factors account for these outcomes. One is the government's ability to obtain funding for its counter-cyclical policies, which enabled it to redress some of the economic and social effects of the crisis. Another factor is the government's success in presenting its statist and redistributive policy responses as a break with the past, thus recreating expectations of change to the status quo and hope for a better future. Finally, the timing of the legislative election and the coalitional dynamics of the opposition allowed the government to perform a strategic shift, which effectively reshaped the political agenda and enabled the ruling coalition to recover from an important electoral defeat by reinventing its nature. These factors enabled the incumbent government to recast the continuity of its previous policies as a novel response to the crisis, and thus rekindle the basis for a positive assessment of the democratic regime among citizens.","PeriodicalId":403398,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan journal of democracy","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124205906","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}

Explanations for this involve such factors as the party's ideological rigidity and poor leadership, which have kept it from responding effectively to the increased electoral competition it has faced. While such explanations are generally accurate, this essay shows that there is more to the story of the JSP's electoral decline, by investigating the socialists' decline in Japan at the election district level from 1958 through 1993. This is where the JSP's endorsed candidates won and lost district seats; our investigation shows that, during this period, the JSP faced increased electoral competition on its left and right flanks, which hurt it electorally in both direct and indirect ways. It hurt the JSP directly by inhibiting the ability of the party's candidates to win legislative seats in district elections, and indirectly by leading the party to commit too many nomination errors, which, in turn, led to the loss of district seats that it otherwise would have obtained. Overall, the study's results suggest that, while the JSP could not have stopped its electoral decline completely, it could have preserved more of its support if it had been able to bridge its internal ideological gaps to keep itself from fragmenting.","PeriodicalId":403398,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan journal of democracy","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124800727","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}

One specific issue which has aroused the interest of both scholars and commentators is the role of new media technologies in the protest politics in Hong Kong. While much research in Europe and America has documented the Internet's ability to facilitate the expansion of social movement mobilization and participation, this essay examines whether the Internet has helped to foster positive public opinion toward social movements, their goals, and their collective action. Based on considerations of the characteristics of the online information environment and people's information-seeking behavior, this essay develops the hypotheses concerning persuasion, support activation, and opinion radicalization. These hypotheses are examined in the case of the anti-Express Rail protests in Hong Kong in early 2010. Analysis of survey data (N=1,007) confirms the support activation and opinion radicalization hypotheses. Theoretical and social implications of the findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":403398,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan journal of democracy","volume":"T165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125413202","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}

Lee","doi":"10.29654/TJD.201207.0009","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29654/TJD.201207.0009","url":null,"abstract":"South Korea (hereafter Korea) and Taiwan are well-known for achieving economic miracles in their postwar late industrialization and for making successful political transitions from developmental dictatorships to democratic states over the past decades. For this reason, these two countries, called two of Asia’s dragons, are often treated as a comparable pair by cross-national comparative studies of politico-economic development. Korea and Taiwan are also known for having notable differences in their industrial relations regimes: the former’s labor-management relations have been confrontational, whereas the latter’s, to a certain extent, have been moderate. As succinctly stated in the title of Lee’s book, it is often indicated from an international comparative perspective that the Taiwanese labor movement is characterized as partisan, while the Korean counterpart is marked by militancy. This book, which begins with the author’s sharp observations of the contrasting street scenes of seemingly “crash-less” scooters in Taipei and impatient car drivers in Seoul, presents a convincing answer to the puzzle of why Korea and Taiwan have become quite distinct from each other in their industrial relations. It sheds light on the origins, processes, and outcomes of labor politics, penetrating the historical trajectory of the democratization of the two countries. In contrasting the labor politics in the two democratizing economies, in particular, the author cogently spotlights collective actors, workers, and labor unions that largely have been overlooked by the existing literature. Employing a qualitative case-study method, the volume employs thorough analysis and nuanced causal explanation in comparing the divergent labor politics that evolved historically in the two East Asian states, thereby offering grounded insights that further develop theoretical reasoning concerning the relationship between democratization and labor movements.","PeriodicalId":403398,"journal":{"name":"Taiwan journal of democracy","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123028377","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}
