Even the conservative Chosun Ilbo says that it's a "national shame" to declare martial law. "대통령이 비상계엄을 선포할 상황도 아니고, 그럴 권한을 대통령에게 부여한 것도 아니다. 세계 10위권 민주국가로 국가 망신이라고 하지 않을 수 없다." chosun.com/opinion/editor…

“Even if Mr Yoon is ejected, it would still be too soon to breathe a sigh of relief. South Korea’s institutions have proven resilient. But its politics remain polarised and bitter, in a world where such things often sap the spirit of democracy.” economist.com/leaders/2024/1…

After the President of #SKorea openly defended his "legal decision" to protect the country's democracy, here comes the message to int'l academics on the petition for an #impeachment (reurl.cc/yDkGZE). Guess what, I'm from a country that went through 38y of #MartialLaw.

Polisci friends, any good resources you know of on effective teaching about autocracy/authoritarian politics? Looking for a more pedagogical angle (ie not reading suggestions - have plenty of those! =))

Nearly every South Korean president has been jailed post-term. Why does this “politics of revenge” persist in a democracy hailed as a success story? Joan E. Cho & Aram Hur examine: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/…
