 n (Jean) Hong is a political scientist working on the political economy of 
 authoritarianism\, with particular attention to East Asia. Dr. Hong is an A
 ssociate Professor of Political Science at the Department of Political Scie
 nce and Korea Foundation Chair Professor of Korean Politics at the Nam Cent
 er for Korean Studies\, International Institute\, University of Michigan. S
 he has various ongoing research projects related to the legacy of the autho
 ritarian past\, the long-term impact of political violence\, and the determ
 inants of elite behavior and government policies under authoritarianism. He
 r research has been published or is forthcoming in the American Journal of 
 Political Science\, British Journal of Political Science\, Journal of Econo
 mic Behavior and Organization\, Journal of Politics\, and Political Science
  Research and Methods among others.</li><li>Abstract: Many authoritarian le
 aders build strong bonds with certain groups and people. Such authoritarian
  patronage often affects the country’s politics even after the end of the d
 ictatorship. This study looks at how authoritarian patronage between rural 
 village leaders and an authoritarian regime influenced voting in both autho
 ritarian and democratic elections using the case of the New Village Movemen
 t under Park Chung-hee in South Korea. It suggests that the influence of th
 ese old ties remained effective in elections during authoritarian periods a
 nd even after the country became democratic in 1987\, but only if people st
 ill trusted these bonds. However\, as democracy consolidated and the agricu
 ltural sector declined due to globalization\, this influence eventually fad
 ed away. The study shows that the legacy of authoritarianism is not simply 
 an outcome of a strong dictatorship but is reshaped with political and econ
 omic changes in a new democracy.</li></ul><p><img class="aligncenter wp-ima
