As part of the Korean Democracy Storytelling Project run by the East Asia Institute (EAI), a research team led by Professor Woo Chang Kang of Korea University invited experts from civil society organizations and International Organizations to hold a meeting on “Management of Korean Elections and Implications for New Democratic States” on August 30. This project, supported by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), will conduct research under the theme of “South Korea’s Democratic Resilience.” Four research teams will publish issue briefings based on the online meetings and roundtable talks held in June, July, and August.
