韓國의 第14代 大統領 選擧 에 관한 硏究 = A Study on the Korean Presidential Election in 1992

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ushereing in the first civilian government in more than three decades, Korean voters chose stability over change by electing as president Kim Young-sam, The majority Democratic Liberal Party's standard bearer.
Kimi's victory appeared larger than expected over his political as arch-rival, opposition leader Kim Dae-jung. His margin was 42 percent vs. 34 percent with 16 percent of votes counted (and with four minor candidates taking a minuscule slice). The strength of Kim young-sam's win was attributed greatly to the poorer-than-expected showing by the third-party candidate, former Hyundai Chairman Chung Ju-yung.
That threw the contest to Kim Young-sam, the former opposition leader who merged his forces with president Roh Tae-woo's ruling party in 1990. He overcame his rivals' charges of being an intellectual light-weight and ideological traitor who sold his soul for personal ambitions. Kim Young-sam shoud be appreciated for his capacity to enter an undemocratic party and change it into a democratic-minded one. In a sense, he is a Machiavellist.
Voters, in what all parties agreed were remarkably clcan elections, appeared to have bought Kim Young-sam's message that "stability over chaos" was the best course for Korea amid its mounting economic woes. Kim, whose folksy style of consensus proved populor compared with his more strong-headed rivals, had also argued that electing him would avoid paralyzing the nation with divided government because his party controlled the Nationl Assembly.
Regionalism, the potent force that has devided Korea for decades, seemed to have played its usual role in deciding voting outcomes, newscasters commented that it might have even grown worse. Despite all the candidates talk of reducing regional conflict, Kim Young-sam racked up large majorities in the populous Kyongsang provinces in the southeast, while Kim Dae-jung obtained runaway margins in the southwest area of Cholla.
