[ADRN Working Paper Series]
Horizontal Accountability in Taiwan, Mongolia, and Nepal
|
|
|
|
The East Asia Institute (EAI) published a series of working papers as a part of the Asia Democracy Research Network (ADRN)’s project on horizontal accountability. In June, researchers from Taiwan, Mongolia, and Nepal conducted an analysis of how the legislatures, judiciaries, and monitoring bodies in their respective countries are ensuring effective governance and proposed recommendations for enhancing the sys-tem of checks and balances. Each paper highlights specific areas of focus, such as the need for a negotiation mechanism between ruling and opposition parties in Taiwan’s legislative process, measures to prevent interference by Mongolian executives in judicial appointments, and the establishment of institutional frameworks between the central and local governments in Nepal.

[Global NK Commentary] One Thing It Lacks: South Korea’s North Korea Policy in 2023 National Security Strategy
|
|
|
|
Yang Gyu Kim, Principal Researcher at the East Asia Institute, conducts a critical analysis of the new National Security Strategy published on June 7, 2023 and offers policy recommendations for the ROK government’s DPRK policy outlined in the document. While Kim identifies with the National Security Office’s emphasis on strengthening deterrence measures against growing DPRK nuclear and missile threats, he highlights that South Korean countermeasures create a feedback loop that affects North Korea’s threat perception. The author, therefore, points out the limits of the current 3D (Deterrence, Dissuasion, Dialogue) approach and recommends including a “Development” strategy to encourage Pyongyang to envision an alternative future path of prosperity and voluntarily take the denuclearization path.
