| Abstract | This research explores the phenomenon of state imposed cultural transformation and its impact on regime stability through a series of case studies from 20th Century East Asia: Mongolia, North Korea, Yushin-era South Korea, and post-war Japan. In the process, I develop a new typology of state-imposed cultural policies and construct a theoretical framework for predicting the likely impact of different cultural policies on the popularity and effectiveness of anti-regime social movements. In brief, my theory is that governments will be inherently more prone to encounter recurrent, grass-roots, regime-change-seeking popular opposition if: A) they are perceived to be foreign-imposed or based upon foreign ideologies, and B) the ruling regime pursues policies that impose rapid cultural transformation in a modernizing/Westernizing direction. By incorporating the element of state-imposed cultural change, this model adds new depth to existing theories connecting cultural modernization with democratic transition. |
