Stunned, but not completely surprised by #SouthKorea's #martiallaw declaration. Re-upping this publication w/ @AndrewIYeo on why nationalist polarization is deadly to democracies, even those that appear resilient and stable for a long time: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…

I have a new policy brief out today discussing the progress in Japan-Korea-US trilateral cooperation over the past two years and reflecting on what lies ahead now that it looks likely that all three countries will have different political leadership soon: emma-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/0oueb/8df6a41d…

1/4: Here's a trio of essays on what the hell just happened in Seoul ... from three of our best on the amazing Team #CarnegieAsia - @cmleeglobal; @darciedraudt; and @SheenaGreitens ...
While worrying about my friends in South Korea, East Asian security, Japan-ROK relations, and the status of democracies worldwide, waking up to these @japantimes headlines (two days in a row) feels … inappropriate
In an explainer for @goodauth, I share some historical and contemporary context to martial law in South Korea and Yoon's botched attempt yesterday. goodauthority.org/news/martial-l…

I had a great time joining David Buckley's podcast @AsianDemocracy @UofLCAS to discuss the LDP's recent election performance—and what the results reveal about youth participation and representation in Japan's rapidly aging society
Check out CAD's latest pod with @cmcclean of @YaleMacMillan analyzing the LDP's Weak Performance in Japan's recent elections. 🎙️: bit.ly/CMcClean
It’s up! nytimes.com/2024/10/26/wor…
So tomorrow, we'll find out just how angry voters are! The LDP typically survives, but this may be an edge case, the straw that finally breaks the camel's back (for ~year, perhaps). I spoke to @motokorich about this, and she'll have a great @nytimes bit, no doubt. (END THREAD)
