어제의 한국 정치학자 시국선언에 이어 내일은 현 상황에 대한 특별 기획 집담회를 연세대에서 가질 예정입니다. 이번 집담회를 시작으로 계속 권역별로 정치학자 집담회를 이어갈 계획입니다. 집담회 온라인 생중계 주소는 아직 확정되지 않아 내일 중으로 댓글에 이어 올리겠습니다.

On Dec 3, 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law. 600+ political scientists of South Korea condemned this in a joint statement, urging impeachment. **We ask political scientists worldwide to please read & sign in support**: bit.ly/3Bfxc2j

573 political scientists in and out of Korea have written and signed a declaration calling for Yoon's immediate impeachment. I've translated it into English with Prof. Jeong Hyun Kim at Yonsei:

정치학자 573명의 시국선언

573 Korean political science scholars have issued a public statement declaring that Yoon's impeachment is the only way to resolve the current situation. They have 4 demands:

1. Resubmit an impeachment motion in the National Assembly
...

The answer below, from Yoon's office. If they know, they're not saying.

U.S. embassy in Seoul did not condem Yoon's attempted coup.
First US was “Closely tracking" the situation…and then praised Yoon's capitulation and end of martial law as "a crucial step".
Then the US praised “shared values” …what are those values again?
....

First ever Bluesky post, and I'm excited to share our latest research in World Development (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)! Coauthored with Sung Eun Kim (@sungeunkim.bsky.social), Jong Hee Park (@jongheepark.bsky.social), and Joonseok Yang. 🧵
