Abstract

Abstract In new democracies, what is the role of nationalism in terms of democratic behavior such as voter turnout? Previous studies have found that, in Western democracies, constructive national pride increases voter turnout, while blind national pride decreases it. However, little scholarly attention has been paid to new democracies. Given different political contexts, we argue that blind national pride can boost turnout in some new democracies that have lingering authoritarian legacies. Using the case of South Korea, we offer a theory about the relationship between blind national pride and voter turnout. We show that, in contrast to the West, blind national pride is positively associated with turnout in South Korea, and that the relationship appears more robust among both older cohorts, who experienced authoritarianism directly in the recent past, and those with conservative ideologies.

当威权主义遗产重要时:新民主国家的建设性和盲目的民族自豪感和选民投票率
在新兴民主国家,民族主义在选民投票率等民主行为方面的作用是什么?先前的研究发现,在西方民主国家,建设性的民族自豪感提高了选民的投票率,而盲目的民族自豪感则降低了投票率。然而,学术界很少关注新兴民主国家。鉴于不同的政治背景,我们认为,盲目的民族自豪感可以提高一些威权主义遗产挥之不去的新兴民主国家的投票率。本文以韩国为例,提出了一种关于盲目民族自豪感与投票率之间关系的理论。我们发现,与西方相比,盲目的民族自豪感与韩国的投票率呈正相关,而且这种关系在最近直接经历过威权主义的老年人和意识形态保守的人群中都更为明显。
