Summary
Chapter 7 provides the first empirical exploration and serves as a plausibility probe for the two-logics theory. It examines two typical, paradigmatic cases: North Korea for the over-politicization and Singapore for the de-politicization logic. These two lead cases are supplemented with empirical material from other East Asian countries, demonstrating the inner workings of the two contrasting logics. The case selection is designed to present the inner workings in utmost clarity and with least disturbing “noise.” Chapter 7 discusses in detail the ideational and performance legitimation efforts, the use of soft and hard repression, as well as the forms of co-optation in these paradigmatic cases and shows how these factors interact with each other.
