Drawing on crisis management and partisan motivated reasoning theories, we conducted a two-phase survey (N = 2136) examining attitudes toward six significant pandemic events. Political affiliation was the predominant predictor of attitudes toward governmental pandemic responses, with substantial differences between pan-Green and pan-Blue supporters. Education and relative deprivation also emerged as consistent predictors, with higher education corresponding to more critical evaluations. Most notably, negative emotions—particularly anger—significantly moderated the relationship between political affiliation and government trust. Anger demonstrated stronger moderating effects than fear across all models. These findings contradict the “rally-around-the-flag” effect, suggesting Taiwan's pre-existing political cleavages remained salient and were amplified by emotional responses during the pandemic, advancing understanding of differential emotional influences on political attitudes during crises within competitive democratic contexts.","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aspp.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145987014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The junta's pivot to China is puzzling, given the military's long-held suspicion toward Chinese support for ethnic armed groups fighting against Myanmar's armed forces in the north. This study puts forward a Neoclassical Realist framework to analyze the external and domestic drivers of the junta's foreign policy. It argues that the junta has reluctantly resumed asymmetric dependency with Beijing due to political pragmatism and economic necessity. The primary goal of this strategy, which explains both the SAC's discomfort and pragmatism, is regime survival. The study also demonstrates how the SAC has simultaneously hedged against overreliance on China by deepening partnerships with Russia, India, and Thailand.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145469423","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}

El golpe ha trastocado el progreso político, económico y de desarrollo, y Myanmar se ha reducido por encima del nivel de producción económica de la pandemia como consecuencia de las sanciones y un entorno operativo que supone un riesgo significativo para sus socios. En este número especial, exploramos tres temas cruciales en las relaciones bilaterales entre Myanmar y sus vecinos: seguridad, pragmatismo y oportunidades. Esta introducción anticipa estas tres áreas clave y presenta cada artículo de investigación original tal como se sitúa en un entorno regional cada vez más impredecible y austero.","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145366291","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}

This paper assesses whether these near-simultaneous universal cash payout schemes presage a broader transformation in the welfare paradigm of these East Asian economies, traditionally viewed as minimal-welfare developmental states. Our analysis finds that economic stimulus, rather than social protection, was the primary objective in all four cases, even amid the public health crisis. This reflects a strong continuity with the policy responses adopted following the 2007/8 Global Financial Crisis. The underlying “productivist” welfare regimes remained largely unchanged and firmly rooted in the developmentalist, pro-growth paradigm that has shaped these economies for decades. Accordingly, the adoption of universal cash payouts is best understood as a pragmatic policy adjustment to evolving political-economic conditions, rather than evidence of a paradigmatic shift in welfare governance.","PeriodicalId":44747,"journal":{"name":"Asian Politics & Policy","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aspp.70040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
