Byunghwan Ben Son Attends Brookings Institute Panel - Democracy in Asia: Addressing Challenges to Democratic Governance

Dr. Son was invited to speak in a panel discussion organized by the Brookings Institute (December 14, 2022).

The event was to publicly share the outcome of several research teams examining four challenges that Asian democracies face: corruption, disinformation, inequality, and public health.

Dr. Son, as a member of the ‘inequality’ team, suggested that while income inequality in South Korea does not pose a direct threat to its democratic regime right now, it has a non-negligible potential to do so due to the volatile property market.
