The Persistence of Ethnopopulist Support: The Case of Rodrigo Duterte's Philippines

Dean Dulay,Allen Hicken,Ronald Holmes 동아시아연구원 2022 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.22 No.3

The past few years have seen an emergence of populist leaders around the world, who have not only accrued but also maintained support despite rampant criticism, governance failures, and the ongoing COVID pandemic. The Philippines’ Rodrigo Duterte is the best illustration of this trend, with approval ratings rarely dipping below 80 percent. What explains his high levels of robust public support? We argue that Duterte is an ethnopopulist who uses ethnic appeals in combination with insider vs. outsider rhetoric to garner and maintain public support. Moreover, we argue that ethnic affiliation is a main driver of support for Duterte, and more important than alternative factors such as age, education, gender, or urban vs. rural divides. We provide evidence of Duterte's marriage of ethnic and populist appeals, then evaluate whether ethnicity predicts support for Duterte, using 15 rounds of nationally representative public opinion data. Identifying with a non-Tagalog ethnicity (like Duterte) leads to an 8 percent increase in approval for Duterte, significantly larger than any other explanatory factor. Among Duterte supporters, a non-Tagalog ethnicity is associated with 19 percent increase in strong versus mild support. Ethnicity is the only positive and significant result, suggesting that it strongly explains why Duterte's support remains robust. Alternative explanations, such as social desirability bias and alternative policy considerations, do not explain our results.

An Ethical Approach to the KBO Regulation of the Number of Foreign Players in Relation to Fair Play

Dean J. Myers,Sung Joo Park 한국체육철학회 2016 움직임의철학 : 한국체육철학회지 Vol.24 No.1

This essay analyzes the restriction of foreign players in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) through the work of scholars Butcher and Schneider’s (1998) position regarding fair play as “respect for the game”. The main question of inquiry focused on the limitation of 3 foreign players per team and whether this rule can stand up to scrutiny when analyzed under the concept of fair play as described by Butcher and Schneider. Previous work has failed to look at the limitation of foreign players through the specific circumstances of the KBO while applying the ethical concepts of fair play and its components. The concept of Butcher and Schneider’s position regarding fair play was broken down according to their conclusion of fair play as “respect for the game” and the two components it is comprised of; elements of players perspective and the KBO’s governing bodies responsibilities. Conditions of respect for the game provided by scholars Morgan and Meier (1988) were also referenced and found to be personified in the KBO league such as contestants should be evenly matched and the contestants must have a high degree of skill. The conclusion of this essay is that KBO’s rule restricting foreigners was found to be within the bounds of fair play as described by the scholarly work of Butcher and Schneider. The analysis of fair play and the KBO is important as Korea is becoming more diverse and this author believes only through moral evaluation of existing systems and rules can we prevent forthcoming issues.

Empowering Students for Learning and Ministry

Dean Blevins 한국기독교교육정보학회 2006 Journal of Christian education information tech Vol.0 No.10

One of the central goals of global Christian education is the empowerment of students for the sake of serving in ministry. Christian religious educators take into consideration preparation, cultural differences, economic challenges, learning styles, outcomes, and the ministry that students face. This article seeks more than what teachers do for students and addresses what educators must do with and through students. The challenge of empowering students to become life long learners for the sake of serving is discussed. Three areas of empowerment are based on the teacher's calling, student's calling and sound educational theory. Developing empowering education involves providing community, facilitating educational discernment, and transforming the world through a vision of the kingdom of God.

북한의 ICT 산업 인력 관련 법・정책

Dean J. Ouellette 한국사회법학회 2021 社會法硏究 Vol.- No.45

이 연구는 김정은 집권 이후 북한의 ICT산업 관련 법제도의 마련과 정책이 ‘지식경제로의 전환’에 기초한 ‘전민과학기술인재화’에 있다는 점에 주목한다. ‘전민과학기술인재화이론’에서는 무엇보다 기존 혁명적 계승과 “더 많은, 더 빠 른” 인력 양성이 강조되고 있는데, 이는 북한이 기존의 혁명적 철학에 대한 완 수로서 혁명적 계승을 정당화함과 동시에 대내외 경제 활로를 인력 개발 중심으 로 개척해 나가고자 하는 미래 지향적인 관점의 전환으로 이해된다. 따라서 ‘전 민과학기술인재화이론’에 기초한 인력 양성 법・정책은 북한의 새로운 도약을 위 한 발판으로 볼 수 있고, 관련 정책의 시행 결과는 대내외적으로도 많은 변화를 가져올 가능성이 커 보인다. 특히, 대북제재가 완화/해제되는 경우 북한의 ICT 산업 관련 인력의 양성과 전문 기술 및 지식의 확장은 가속화될 수 있는데, 이 는 남북간 ICT 산업의 교류와 협력에도 일정한 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료 된다. 이에, 이 연구는 북한의 ICT 산업과 관련한 법・정책을 경제정책 전환 시기별 로 구분하여 분석하고, 소프트웨어 산업 중심의 ICT 인력 규모, 사회적 수용능 력 등을 추정 가능한 범주에서 확인하여, 향후 남북경제협력 활성화에 기여할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. This study pays attention to the fact that North Korea's ICT industry-related legal system and policies since Kim Jong-un took office are based on ‘transition to a knowledge economy’ through ‘making all people well-versed in science and technology’. Above all else, the ‘theory of making all people well-versed in science and technology’ emphasizes the existing revolutionary succession and the cultivation of “more and faster” manpower. It is understood as a shift to a future-oriented perspective that seeks innovation with a focus on human resource development. Therefore, the manpower training laws and policies based on ‘making all people well-versed in science and technology’ can be viewed as a stepping stone for North Korea to take a new leap forward, and the results of the implementation of the related policies are highly likely to bring about many changes both internally and externally. In particular, if sanctions against North Korea are eased/removed, the nurturing of North Korea’s ICT industry-related manpower and the expansion of professional skills and knowledge can be accelerated. Accordingly, this study analyzes the laws and policies related to the ICT industry, dividing them by period of economic policy transition. In addition, the estimated size of ICT manpower centered on the software industry and social capacity are viewed in estimable categories. The study attempts to provide basic data that can contribute to the revitalization of inter-Korean economic cooperation in the future.

Sport as a Means of Empowerment for Korean Women

Dean J. Myers,Sung-joo Park 한국체육철학회 2016 움직임의철학 : 한국체육철학회지 Vol.24 No.2

This paper sets out to discuss the utilization of sport based female empowerment initiatives as a method of mitigating Korea’s Confucian-based gender roles. The main aim of this paper is to examine how empowering Korean women through sport initiatives could help nullify Confucius-based gender roles and ideologies in Korean society. To achieve this aim, the following three objectives were addressed. First, women’s current gender roles were examined through the context of Korean Confucianism and the function it plays regarding gender roles in Korean society. Second, sociocultural, sociostructural, patriarchal and cultural theories were used as a theoretical framework to explore women’s traditional and evolving social roles relative to men. Last, before implementing a sport based empowerment program, the validity of such programs was examined through a literature review of existing entities such as the program titled Women Win. Analysis of the existing programs and their frameworks were pivotal to the exploration of possible empowerment initiatives in South Korea. The results of this paper show that Korean empowerment programs could help female participants empower themselves. However, difficulties such as Confucian-based gender roles, hierarchy of speech, age based status and in group out group social circles will need to be addressed according to Korean sociocultural needs.

Stabilizing breathing pattern using local mechanical vibrations: comparison of deterministic and stochastic stimulations in rodent models of apnea of prematurity

Dean Zeldich,Samer Bou Jawde,Jacob Herrmann,Leen Arnaout,Meghan Griffin,Noam Grunfeld,Yu Zhang,Ramaswamy Krishnan,Erzsébet Bartolák-Suki,Béla Suki 대한의용생체공학회 2021 Biomedical Engineering Letters (BMEL) Vol.11 No.4

Mechanical stimulation has been shown to reduce apnea of prematurity (AOP), a major concern in preterm infants. Previous work suggested that the underlying mechanism is stochastic resonance, amplification of a subthreshold signal by stochastic stimulation. We hypothesized that the mechanism behind the reduction of apnea length may not be a solely stochastic phenomenon, and suggest that a purely deterministic, non-random mechanical stimulation could be equally as effective. Mice and rats were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and mechanically ventilated to halt spontaneous breathing. Two miniature motors controlled by a microcontroller were attached around the abdomen. Ventilation was paused, stimulations were applied, and the time to the rodent’s first spontaneous breath (T) was measured. Six spectrally different signals were compared to one another and the no-stimulation control in mice. The most successful deterministic stimulation (D) at reducing apnea was then compared to a pseudo-random noise (PRN) signal of comparable amplitude and frequency. CO2%, CO2 stabilization time (Ts), O2 saturation (SpO2%), and T were also measured. D significantly reduced T compared to no stimulation for medium and high amplitudes. PRN also reduced T, without a difference between D and PRN. Furthermore, both stimulations significantly reduced Ts with no significant differences between the respective stimulations. However, there was no effect of D or PRN on SpO2%. The lack of differences between D and PRN led to an additional series of experiment comparing the same D to a band-limited white noise (WN) signal in young rats. Both D and WN were shown to significantly reduce T, with D showing statistical superiority in reduction of apnea. We further speculate that both deterministic and stochastic mechanical stimulations induce some form of mechanotransduction which is responsible for their efficacy, and our findings suggest that mechanical stimulation may be effective in treating AOP.
