Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Despite almost two decades of democratic deepening in Korea, the streets of Seoul are still filled with unionists chanting slogans while the evening news programs rarely go a day without some story on a labor strike. In contrast, union mobilization has become a seasonal event in Taiwan and labor issues seem to have become integrated into the formal political process. This variation of union activism in post-democratized Korea and Taiwan is the main question this paper seeks to explain. This research asserts that political institutions created during the democratization process create incentives for the inclusion of unions into formal political channels. Greater institutional permissiveness combined with opportunities of union-party alliances moderate the mode of union mobilization by guiding unions to address the labor agenda through existing political channels (as in the case of Taiwanese unions). Unions alienated from political institutions, including electoral politics, are more likely to sustain radical mobilization strategies (as in the case of Korean unions).
