In South Korea, returning to a military dictatorship seems well-charged, like a heap of dry tinder waiting for a spark. Yoon Suk-Yeol’s martial law declaration on the night of December 3, 2024, could have been the spark, but it was quickly overturned by the National Assembly, not surviving over six hours. Though the martial law imposition was soon botched, people would mostly see it as the latest echo of the global right-shift trend or skepticism toward neoliberal capitalism. Since the 1980s, capital-oriented neoliberalism has been the dominant political force in the globe. It has spread from the West to democratize and modernize non-Western economies. As critics would argue, this process of Westernization resulted in a prolonged persistence of Western conservative principles, especially following the leadership of Ronald Reagan in the US and Margaret Thatcher in the UK（Fosci 49）. Yet, as early as in the late 2010s, this Westernizing process has met some resistance, including neo-authoritarian regimes or various forms of national protectionism. Both can be taken as a response against neoliberal capitalism because such a West-centric impact has threatened the existence of many regional diversities and political autonomy. |
