About the Lab

Professor Chan-wook Park's research focuses on legislative politics, democratic governance, and civic engagement in South Korea, with a particular emphasis on the National Assembly’s institutional development, the dynamics of partisanship and compromise, and the interplay between legal frameworks and individual behavior. His work explores how political institutions evolve in transitional democracies, especially in relation to accountability, representation, and the rule of law. He also investigates the psychological and institutional factors influencing citizen behavior, such as privacy protection and constituent service, linking individual perceptions to broader democratic outcomes.

인터넷상에서의 개인정보 보호행동에 관한 연구: 보호동기이론을 중심으로
박찬욱, 이상우

본 연구의 목적은 보호동기 이론을 기반으로 인터넷 사용자의 개인정보 보호행동의 변화를 설명하고, 사용자의 개인정보 권익을 보호하기 위한 방안에 대해 모색하는 것이다. 보호동기 이론은 위협메시지에 의한 보호행동의 변화과정을 설명하기 위한 대표적인 이론으로, 본 연구에서는 개인정보에 대한 위협과 개인정보 보호행동에 대한 개인의 인지적 평가가 보호동기를 형성하고 보호동기가 개인정보 보호행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하였다. 또한 개인정보 권리보장 및 권리구제와 관련된 법제도를 반영하여서 개인정보 권리인지 변인을 개발하였다. 즉 개인정보 관련 법률이 개인정보 보호에 대한 인식이나 행동변화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 본 연구는 선행연구들과 달리 법제도를 반영한 개인정보 권리인지 변인을 개발하여 개인정보 보호행동의 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 연구의 결과 개인정보 권리인지 변인이 개인정보 보호행동에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 밝혀졌으며, 법제도를 통한 정보주체의 권리보장이 개인

The national assembly of the republic of Korea
Chan Wook Park
SJR Q1Journal of Legislative Studies

In the authoritarian era, the Korean National Assembly was a fairly weak form of marginal legislature. In the early years of democratic development, the legislature became a weak form of vulnerable legislature. Presently, however, it is a fairly strong form of marginal legislature. The constitution authorises the legislature to check the executive branch. Elections have become increasingly free and fair. Interest group pluralism steadily deepens. Nevertheless, the National Assembly operates in a

When their interests and demands are perceived to be incompatible, conflicts develop in the deliberation process. In so

Constituency Representation in Korea: Sources and Consequences
Chan Wook Park
SJR Q1Legislative Studies Quarterly

This paper investigates the sources of variation in the level of constituency work performed by South Korean legislative members and the effect of members' previous constituency work upon their subsequent electoral success. Using data derived from questionnaire surveys, this study has found that a member's perception of the electoral payoff of constituency work, his self-description of the job, his party affiliation, and the constituency's demands and location are important factors in explaining

Budget Review in the National Assembly of Democratic Korea
Chan Wook Park
SJR Q2Journal of East Asian Studies

Although Korea has made significant strides to strengthen its democratic system since the successful transition in the late 1980s as part of the “third wave” of global democratization, a look into the process of making budgetary policy in the National Assembly would suggest that Korean democracy is far from consolidation. Korean politics has shed itself for the most part of its authoritarian past, when the military was the main conduit of action and oppression. The principle of free, regular, an

The organisation and workings of committees in the Korean national assembly
Chan Wook Park
SJR Q1Journal of Legislative Studies

This study discusses the organisation and workings of standing committees in the Korean National Assembly. The formal rules have prescribed a central role for committees in the legislative process. In reality, however, the committees have not functioned as effectively as prescribed. The committees are party‐dominated institutions: political parties control committee appointment and policy deliberation in committees. Furthermore, the committees lack autonomy vis‐à‐vis the parental body and also t

Evolution of metasurfaces for advanced elastic wave manipulation: a comprehensive review
Chan Wook Park, Yoon Young Kim
SJR Q1Smart Materials and Structures

Abstract Elastic waves exhibit fascinating yet complex physical phenomena because normal and shear deformations in elastic solid media characterize two different wave modes, longitudinal and transverse. Furthermore, elastic waves have a broad range of engineering applications, spanning industrial, geological, and medical fields. Recently, elastic metasurfaces, planar metamaterials typically made of thin, subwavelength-scale structures, have received significant attention. As they can surpass con

Legislators, Bureaucrats, and Interest Groups in Korea: A Review Essay
Chan Wook Park
Seoul National University Open Repository (Seoul National University)

The purpose of this essay is to review existing research on legislative-administrative bureaucratic and legislative-interest group relations from the 1970's until the late 1990's in Korea. From a critical viewpoint, the extant literature on the relationship between legislators and bureaucrats or interest groups in Korea is meager, shallow, and outdated. Korean legislative politics is in the process of transition. Although the inertia of old political practices may be still strong, there also exi
