Using Analytical Eclecticism for Improved Policy Relevance: Is There a Case for South Korean Support of Abenomics?

Peter Katzenstein's “analytic eclecticism” argues for problem-driven, policy-relevant international relations, where “messy” problems in the world encourage creative recombinations of theory and sidestep paradigmatic debates. Ideally, the rigor of theory and originality springing from atypical reconfigurations improve policy recommendations. This paper applies this approach to South Korea and Abenomics. Seoul's elites have generally opposed Abenomics, but my eclectic approach argues for six theoretically informed but practically relevant ways in which Japan's reflation is, in fact, in the national interest: First, as a “responsible middle power” in the G-20, “Global Korea” is expected to act with a wider view of its national interest in support of global institutions. Second, as a major trading partner, Japan's reflation is good for Korean growth. Third, an appreciated won is good for heavily indebted Korean consumers. Fourth, a normally growing Japan is good for Korean security. Fifth, a normalized Japan is more likely to deal calmly with Korea on history issues. Sixth, a normalized Japan is likelier to contribute to the costs of eventual unification. Per the eclectic approach, these arguments, first, are not selected for paradigmatic commensurability, but rather for problem/policy-relevance. Second, they leverage international relations theory to enrich the menu of options in the ROK policy space.

使用分析折衷主义提高政策相关性:韩国是否有支持安倍经济学的案例?

Peter Katzenstein 的“分析折衷主义”主张问题驱动的、与政策相关的国际关系,其中世界上的“混乱”问题鼓励理论的创造性重组并回避范式辩论。理想情况下,源自非典型重构的严谨理论和独创性可以改进政策建议。本文将这种方法应用于韩国和安倍经济学。首尔的精英们普遍反对安倍经济学,但我的折衷方法论证了日本的通货再膨胀实际上符合国家利益的六种理论上有见地但实际上相关的方式:首先,作为 20 国集团中的“负责任的中等强国”,“全球韩国”预计将以其更广泛的国家利益视角行事,以支持全球机构。二、作为主要贸易伙伴的日本 通货膨胀有利于韩国经济增长。第三,韩元升值对负债累累的韩国消费者有利。第四,正常增长的日本有利于韩国的安全。第五,正常化的日本更有可能在历史问题上从容应对韩国。第六,正常化的日本更有可能为最终统一付出代价。根据折衷主义的方法,首先,这些论点不是为了范式的可公度性而选择的,而是为了问题/政策的相关性。其次,他们利用国际关系理论丰富韩国政策空间的选择菜单。一个正常化的日本更有可能成为最终统一的代价。根据折衷主义的方法,首先,这些论点不是为了范式的可公度性而选择的,而是为了问题/政策的相关性。其次,他们利用国际关系理论丰富韩国政策空间的选择菜单。一个正常化的日本更有可能成为最终统一的代价。根据折衷主义的方法,首先,这些论点不是为了范式的可公度性而选择的,而是为了问题/政策的相关性。其次,他们利用国际关系理论丰富韩国政策空间的选择菜单。
