S. Korean situation now:

1. Han DS (PM) *refuses* to appoint Con. Court Judges nominated by the National Assembly (he should).

2. The opposition is likely to impeach Han.

3. PPP declares to *refuse* this impeachment too.

Those *refusing* to stop #insurrection are insurrectionists too.
Korea’s acting president could soon face an impeachment of his own
Korea could be left in an unprecedented position of operating under an “acting acting president”

1/ I'm frustrated with how the NYT may misrepresent the causal relationship between the latest impeachment of the PM and political uncertainty. Did the second impeachment worsen political instability?

So far, 282 political scientists worldwide have signed and supported our statement on impeachment. Hankyore, a mainstream media outlet, featured this just hours ago, and more to come. Thank you!!

Did the insurrection in #SKorea come out of nowhere? One way to think about is how the conservative party (red) has never been more committed to the basic democratic norms prior to elections than an average (green) party in the *world* (gray) was, let alone the Democratic Party (red). Data: V-party.

My paper on global corporate norm enforcement is out in @ISQ_Jrnl. Politicians in democracies find home-grown MNCs valuable (Samsung to Korea). Why do some governments discipline their home-grown MNCs, aka national champions, more often than others?
