Welcome
- I am Associate Professor of Political Science at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). Prior to joining SKKU, I was an assistant professor at Utah State University. My research interests are international and comparative political economy, political behavior, and public policy with a focus on post-industrial economies, particularly in East Asia. Within these broad fields, I study how new forms of inequality associated with post-industrialization affect the behavior of political actors and in turn, reshape public policy. Recent projects focus on the politics of three important socio-economic transformations in advanced democracies: 1) labor market dualization; 2) gender divisions, and 3) population aging. In this context, I examine the redistributive attitudes and electoral choices of newly marginalized groups as well as the policy responses of political elites.
- My work is published or forthcoming in journals such as Political Research Quarterly, Political Psychology, Electoral Studies, West European Politics among others. My co-authored book, Democracy Under Siege?, is published with Oxford University Press.
