Who violates censorship laws under extreme authoritarian rule? My new article with @rpcward89 uses North Korean refugee data to show socioeconomic autonomy and higher education predict foreign media consumption while pre-Jangmadang socialization does not.

While social media is polarising, evidence suggests AI may nudge people towards the centre.

This holds true of all studied models. Grok is more right-leaning than other models, but also has depolarising effects.

Thrilled that this @CUP_Law book, with Driscoll and Krehbiel, is out this week. Its topic that become surprisingly relevant: under what conditions does the public punish presidents who ignore court decisions?

@Sangyong_S @TaegyoonK Thank you!

[Wonjun Song @wonjunomatic]

Why do some ex-authoritarian ruling parties thrive in democracy while others vanish? @TaegyoonK and I find that parties formed before authoritarian takeover (“pre-seizure”) are more resilient and win more votes post-transition than those built after (“post-seizure”).

Prof. Wright recently published an article in the Conversation. Wright and his colleagues explain how purging civil servants and dismantling government departments is a first step for newly elected strongmen to consolidate personal power. https://t.co/cpkL8sedQ9

With many arguing that President Yoon's declaration of martial law sets Korean democracy back and is an example of global democratic backsliding, experts caution that it will take time to assess how Korea’s overall democratic path will progress from here. https://t.co/jc8O5EnZKW
