【Abstract】KoreaThe "confidences interfere in politics" continues to ferment, which not only seriously undermines the self-esteem of its citizens, but also affects the image of South Korea's nationality. Almost none of the South Korean presidents have had a good end, which undoubtedly stems from the institutional design of South Korean politics after World War II.

Korea isThe leader among the "Four Asian Little Dragons" has created the "Han River Miracle" in economic terms and was once regarded as a typical example of political transformation and an outstanding student in social governance. However, the emergence of South Korea's political scandals has not only seriously damaged the self-esteem of its citizens, but also severely hit South Korea's national image, which has made even worse for the South Korean economy, which is currently plagued by the crisis.
The real thrust of the fermentation of the incident of close friends in politics
In December 2012, Park Geun-hye, the presidential candidate of the New National Party, was elected as the 18th President of South Korea. South Korean media reported at that time that Park Geun-hye w88 mobilewas elected to create at least five firsts: South Korea's first female president, the first father was the president's elected president, the first unmarried president, the first president elected with more than half of the votes,
After Park Geun-hye came to power, economic reform expanded to almost all areas and proposed to passThe "creative economy" promotes economic development, attempting to meet the interests of different classes in South Korea, and gain recognition from the whole society. However, South Korea is a country dominated by export-oriented, and South Korea's economic growth will benefit more from the development of the global economy.
The occurrence of the political crisis of Park Geun-hye government is both inevitable and accidental, both deep and direct. There are two reasons for this accident and directness: First, the Park Geun-hye government insists on deploying it in South KoreaThe THAAD anti-missile system, the second is the occurrence of "confidants interfering in politics".
On July 8, 2016, the US and South Korean military issued a joint statement in Seoul, deciding to deploy "terminal high-altitude regional defense system" at US military bases in South Korea（Terminal High Altitude Air Defense，AbbreviationTHAAD）。The maximum radar detection distance of the THAAD anti-missile system is 2,000-3,000 kilometers, which can monitor the launch of China's inland ballistic missiles.The THAAD anti-missile system not only greatly threatens China's strategic security, but also has strong opposition from the people of South Korea. In the eyes of South Korean people, the THAAD anti-missile system not only has limited deterrence to North Korea, but also cannot defend the capital circle. Its electromagnetic waves first threaten people's safety, and at the same time intensify the situation w88 casinoon the Korean Peninsula, and also contribute to China-South Korea relations, especially economic relations.
Park Geun-hyeThe "confidants interfere in politics" incident first came from a joint protest at Earhua Women's University. Ewha Women's University is the cradle of the first lady, and has trained 6 Korean first ladies.
Jung Weiluo's mother is Choi Soon-sil, and she is President Park Geun-hye's best friend. After the matter was disclosed, Park Geun-hye apologized to the people and said:"Choi Soon-sil extended a helping hand in times of distress." The matter did not end there because this best friend still hid more secrets. Choi Soon-sil is Park Geun-hye’s best friend for decades. She lends a helping hand to Park Geun-hye when her life is at its lowest point, and the two of them talk about anything.
This is a serious incident that undermines national discipline. South Korean people began to doubt Park Geun-hye's moral qualities, and even more doubt her ability to govern.The "Heroic Man Cuts His Arms" responded to it, and accepted the resignation of his secretary-general Li Yuanzhong, the Chief Secretary of Policy Adjustment An Zhongfan, the Chief Secretary of Government Affairs Kim Jae-won, the Chief Secretary of Civil Affairs Yu Bingyu, and the Chief Secretary of the Communiqué Kim Sung-woo. Lee Jae-man, Jung Ho-sung and An Fenggen of the Park Geun-hye regime trio also submitted their resignations.
Affected by this, Park Geun-hye's image and credibility have been greatly reduced, and her support rate has dropped to unprecedented4%, the approval rating among young people is 0%. On December 9, 2016, the South Korean Congress passed the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye with 234 votes in favor, 56 votes against and 2 abstentions (7 votes invalid).
w88 online casinoInnate defects in the design of the "Imperial President" system
After the end of World War II, with the support of the United States and the Soviet Union,In August 1948, the Republic of Korea was established in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and in September 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was established in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. The 1953 armistice agreement further solidified the division between the north and south of the Korean Peninsula, causing a confrontation between the north and the south for more than half a century.
First, the South Korean president owns“Emperor” power. After the war, South Korea established a Western-style political system under the leadership of the United States and implemented the so-called "separation of powers" system, but South Korea, which experienced the Korean War, was always at the forefront of the Cold War standoff.
Second,The political ecology characterized by "imperial president" directly forms a politics of hatred. The direct result of South Korea's system design is that the president was in office and was tragically liquidated after he stepped down.
Again,There is a political and business relationship under the rule of the "imperial president". South Korea achieved economic takeoff under Park Chung-hee's dictatorship. Its basic path is to support large enterprises and vigorously develop heavy chemical industry.
Analysis of the basic trends of future Korean institutional design
KoreaThe incident of "confidants interfering in politics" will undoubtedly promote the acceleration of political reform of South Korean society, and South Korea will face another political transformation. First, the presidential power is constrained by the model of "separation of powers".
Second,"Classic interfering in politics&w88 slotquot; will promote the reform of South Korea's political party system. Many Korean political parties do not have their own political ideas and governance concepts, but only aim at elections, because most Korean political parties are formed centered on prominent families. They carry out party activities under their financial support, and they will formulate the party.
Once again, South Korea's political reform will surely touch the unique political and business relationship. After World War II, almost no South Korean president died well. The reason was not that the president himself was corrupt and abused the law, or that his children and relatives took bribes.
