JUNGUG CHOI: 최 정욱 교수
Welcome
to my homepage. My name is Jungug Choi(최정욱). I am a
professor of Political Science at Konkuk
University in Seoul(For my online self-portrait, please watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra5Izy36lG0). I am a
comparativist on political, social and economic issues in Asian democracies.
All my published articles are downloadable free of charge by clicking on the
respective links below. I completed two rounds of massive face-to-face surveys about popular
support and opposition to reservation policy in India, whose data are available
upon request. Meanwhile, my latest
interest moves back to my pre-doctoral research field, political thoughts. I am particularly engaged in a 7-year NRF
project of writing multiple volumes on history of the ideas of democracy in the
West from the Greeks to Joseph Schumpeter. For any other comments or
questions, feel free to email me at drchoi(no_spam)konkuk.ac.kr or
